Rory had been outside emptying his bucket when the small collapse happened; he came inside to find Deimos looking worriedly at Remi, who was brushing earth from his hair and shoulders. Rory's blue eyes skipped between them and Jigano, "what happened?" he asked as he hurried back to the tunnel's entrance.
They were talking about more beams, though, and Rory looked at the diminishing pile of pre-cut supports. His arms and shoulders were aching from all the work they had already done today, and he figured that running out of prepared support beams would provide a natural break soon enough. They had enough raw material to make lots of new ones, but Rory wasn't sure how much longer they should keep going.
Anyway, Remi harnessed his magic to begin to sweep out the tunnel. Rory watched for a moment, remembering how he had manipulated the frozen ground to make room for the Spark Bird's perch, then he went back to the supports, grabbing some and beginning to haul them in after Deimos, ready to help brace the tunnel.
