"Shit," Cam swore under their breath, then: "Oh, ouch."
They examined their splinters as best they could in the dark, wincing. Those were going to be a problem, huh? And they couldn't even see well enough to get them out, so they'd just have to live with the pain for now. It wasn't too bad -- not an emergency-room issue, they would have said if they were still in a world with an emergency room -- but they were definitely worse for wear.
And they weren't the only one who'd been hit: they asked Mabel, "Are you OK?"
Surveying the boards that had crumbled before them, Cam added, "If they're going to fall apart anyway, it might be easier to just smash them -- and stand back, so we don't get hit again -- than try to get rid of them in one piece. Then we'd just have to pry up the nails ..."
They started to put their plan into action as they spoke, taking a hammer and carefully attacking the boards to try to batter and pull them to pieces.
Cam suggests that they destroy the boards rather than trying to take them off, and starts doing so.
