All she could do was hope that she was going to come across the pure crystals she needed soon enough so they could move on to something next, but that was fine she figured with a smile. Grim was raring to go and she figured he had waited long enough for now. She grabbed the handle to the wagon and started into the mines, Grim going in front of her, and she could see him by the light from within him at the moment, though the light she had with her helped as well, of course. She grinned a little and glanced around, she couldn't feel anything just yet of course, but that was fine, they would need to head further into the mines for her to feel something most likely. Jack pushed a hand through her hair, what was she going to do about things at this point anyway? Grim was ready, but she was too.

Grim was ready to get going and paused for a moment to let his human catch up to him before he began to trot off again. He was ready to find something and had his nose to the ground as he went, feeling with his senses and sniffing with his nose. It was all he could do to keep from being overwhelmed. He knew what she was after and he wanted to help her out, though he didn't really understand why. Maybe this was what his father was talking about when it came to enjoying her company, but that was alright he figured with a little chuff. He was sure it didn't matter what he felt about her, he didn't know what else he could do about things right now except to try and help her out for the moment. Jack smiled at him, she loved the animal so far, same as his father.

Without a doubt she was ready to find some things in the mines, especially if they were crystals. She could use any crystal she came across, of course, but the pure crystals were preferred right now. Even prismatic would be nice though, she had to remember that much it seemed. Jack chewed on her lip a little, hoping they would find what she needed rather quickly, though she wasn't going to hold her breath over it. There was a reason they were so rare, but that was fine she figured with a little sigh. She wished that things would be easier, and she paused when Grim paused, sniffing at the air a little before he zeroed in on a spot in the wall next to them. He turned and started digging, and the woman could do nothing but chuckle a little when she realized it was time to dig. And dig they would.

Jack opened up the wagon and pulled out her pickaxe, knowing it was going to take both of them to find whatever he felt back there at the moment. Sure, she could use any of the crystals they could find in the mines, but it wouldn't do her any good if they couldn't find enough for a single node. She chewed on her lip, she had to have that much luck, right? Glancing over at the halfbreed as he dug away at the wall, she wondered what was going to happen and what they were going to find eventually. She knew it was going to take some time, but she hoped the time would pass quickly so she didn't have to worry about things just yet. She chuckled a little, she was impatient when it came to things like this, but that was fine eventually, she knew. She just had to keep at it.

Jack swung away at the wall of the mines, intent on finding something good for awhile. It still seemed like Grim felt something coming, she just wasn't sure what it was, and that was alright, they would figure it out sooner or later, hopefully sooner rather than later, of course. Jack pushed her hair back and wondered what was in there, but she had to be patient or else nothing good was going to come of this for awhile. She sighed a little, she hated waiting, she was an impatient woman when it all came down to it, but that was fine, she knew that things would be fine whenever she thought about it well enough. Ah well, she figured as she watched Grim dig at the wall as well. It must be a tough wall, his claws weren't carving through the stone like they usually did, maybe there was an ore vein back there too.

Jack picked away at the wall to help with Grim a little bit and wondered what he had found back there. Maybe it was nothing, but maybe it was something good, she really had no way of knowing just yet now did she? She chuckled at herself and wondered what she was going to do about things so far, but that was neither here nor there she figured with a smile on her face. Jack just wanted things to work out for her right now, she needed a few more crystals if she was going to get her magic going at the moment. All she had to do was find some more and then things would be fine right now, Jack figured with a little nod. She just had to keep working at it and wondered what all she was going to find behind the wall now that they were working on it a little bit.

Grim wasn't the only one watching and waiting, digging and everything else he might be doing to the wall. Jack was helping, and he was a little grateful at this point that she was wiling to help him find whatever it was he could sense back there. Glancing over at her, he realized he would have never figured any of this out had he been with anyone else as a partner. He smiled a little as best as he could and then kept going at the wall a little bit. Something was back there and he would find it with the help of the woman right now, and he hoped that he could figure out what to do with whatever he found, or if the woman would take it and figure it out eventually. Jack knew he was proud and possessive a little of what he found, but that didn't matter at the moment did it?

Finding stones was fun, but she had a sense of purpose at the moment. She needed to find prismatic crystals, a woman had found a couple of remnant crystals and was holding on to them. The agreement was that if she could find a prismatic crystal, the other woman would make a node for her, for a fee of course, and then she would have even more nodes at the moment. It was an exciting prospect, and she hoped that something good would come of it no matter what. Jack pushed a hand through her hair and glanced at Grim, wondering if he was truly like his father with his one sided devotion and all that. She smiled a little, of course he was, he was devoted to her and to what they were trying to do, it was wonderful and she hoped that things were going to happen no matter what.

Jack simply hoped he felt a crystal back in the wall, they were making decent progress through the thick stone, Grim's claws were barely making a dent in the wall it was so dense, and neither was Jack's pickax. It was rough going, but they would find a few things soon enough she was sure of it, and she smiled a little as she tried to figure out what to do at the moment. She pulled her hair back and tied it, a few curls escaping as she did so which made her smile. She liked her hair, but she liked it short, and it was ever so curly when it was short and all that, but that was alright she decided with a curt nod as she looked over at Grim. Her little break had made things go slower, but that was alright she decided, it didn't really matter.

Simply put, she hoped to find crystals. Any stones she found would be nice, but crystals were where she wanted things to happen, definitely. She grinned a little, if Grim was this determined about a spot in the mines, then there had to be a crystal in the back, though she wasn't sure what it was going to be just yet. That didn't really matter, she needed all of them still she figured with a brief nod as she worked alongside Grim. Things would be alright for awhile she knew, and she knew that things were going to go well no matter what happened, but still, she needed more magic, and therefore, crystals. She had plenty of berries and conduits for the nodes so far, the pink mind gems to hold the magic in place, but she didn't have enough crystals to do what she wanted to do, which was a real shame.

Other stones would do well for her she knew, but she wished she knew what else she was going to get, at least when it came to crystals and things. She smiled a little, she didn't know what else to go with it for the moment, and that was fine by her. Jack pushed a lock of hair out of her face and looked around the mines. They were fairly close to the entrance, which was surprising and she wondered if they should move further into the mine to lessen the chances of a collapse or something. She frowned a little, she really didn't know, but that was alright she figured with a little sigh, if it collapsed, then she would figure it out eventually she thought. It wasn't like Grim couldn't get her out of it, she thought as she smiled at the halfbreed, and she wasn't completely helpless anymore either.

Whatever happened, at least she had Grim with her, that's what she needed to remember. Jack looked over at him and smiled at the soft purple glow he emitted just like his father did, but Grim's was much more natural than Goran's was. She didn't know what was going to happen at the moment, but that was fine as long as she had Grim with her she figured with a little smile. Hitting at the tough wall with her pickax, she wondered if she knew any spells that might help her out at the moment, but that would be taking the easy way out she thought, which she didn't want to do no matter what. Jack frowned a little, she didn't really care what happened, as long as they got the crystals she needed at the moment. Ah well, even if they didn't, they would come away from the mines with a few things, no doubt.

Grim knew it was interesting to dig with the woman a little, and he hoped there wouldn't be a cave-in as well. He paused for a moment and looked toward the entrance of the mine and tilted his head, it was raining outside, he knew it. He settled down for a moment, licked his claws, and then started to dig again. Just because he was hunting for something didn't mean he couldn't have good hygiene, right? Jack smiled at him and patted him on the head before she started to dig at the wall with the pickax some more. She wasn't sure what to expect from this dig just yet, she just hoped there would be something good at the end of all of this. They hadn't even found a single stone just yet, which was frustrating, and while she knew it wasn't the reward, it was the journey, it still stung quite a bit.

The woman couldn't hear the rain, rather it was a thunderstorm, and a pretty bad one at that. The storm raged outside while the woman and the halfbreed were safe in the mines for the moment, but every now and then her skin pulsed as though responding to the thunder and lightning. She didn't understand it of course, but it was interesting to see it happening as her skin crawled a little and her hair stood on end. Jack smiled a little and patted Grim, thinking she was just having a reaction to a nearby crystal, and she dug a little harder just in case. She knew it was only a matter of time before she was done with all of her magic, before she had all the magic she could ever hope to have, but still, it was forever away and she just needed to find more crystals! It needed to happen.
