and I've only got my brittle bones to break the fall
Up close, the Islacore is legitimately terrifying: massive, all raw power and pointy ends. (He wonders who the shift is from. Wonders whose side they're on.) Aamu's glance up at her feline head is nearly fearful as she breathes on his hair.She has two redeeming qualities though: first of all, she's Isla. Second, she's really fluffy, and he's glad to be holding on to the cart lest he try to pet her. It might be a little awkward.
Her 'gentle nudge' does the trick, heaving the cart out of the rut its stuck in. "Thank you," Aamu says quietly, glancing ahead with the same sort of horror-mixed fascination as Edy capers around. He frowns ever so slightly. "Is she always like this?"
Then he's pulling the cart along again, until they finally make it back without further mishaps to their starting point. "Who wants to do the digging?" he asks, gently taking from the cart Isla's interesting bits and putting to the side so they won't get mixed up with the rest.
Isla successfully gets the cart out of the rut!
Now two need to empty the cart annnnd one to start digging
