[ Is the experience of being thrown and dropping straight into the sand a pleasant experience?
Of course not. Sure, the sand does break her fall enough that she doesn't break anything, nor is there anything to scratch her pale skin on, but it still very much feels like she's a sack of potatoes hitting the ground hard. It gets a little 'oof' from Olympia, and for a moment she doesn't move, like she needs that moment to process the force of the fall.
But when that moment is over, she looks up from where she's lying on the ground, her cheeks and hair covered in sand.
And she doesn't look just anywhere. No, the girl looks over at Ruby, and the sight she finds draws a gasp from her lips. ]
No..!
[ Something about the sight of the cactus holding onto the girl, trying to drag Ruby closer to itself, is absolutely horrifying. Especially given what Ruby had said about these plants.
But despite the fact that Olympia would love to do nothing more than running away from these terrifying plants, she knows she can't just abandon Ruby. Not like this.
So without hesitation, Olympia doesn't move further away from Ruby and the plants, even though Ruby would be the ideal distraction to allow Olympia a safe passage into town. Instead she moves closer towards the dark-haired girl, her hands latching onto one of Ruby's wrists and starting to pull, like she's trying to tug the girl straight out of the plants' grasp.
It's not easy to even use enough strength here to maintain Ruby's position, keeping her from getting closer to the plants, but Olympia looks like she's giving it all the strength her thin chicken arms got, her face twisted with concentration and effort. ]
