The ground shook and Byron had reached out to steady himself against anything he could. A wall, a person, anything remotely resembling something steady, checking on Fran for a brief moment before he noticed the ground splitting and he moved out of the way of it, only to go lurching forward to try and grab Elanna's hand when he noticed her falling, reaching to grab stone once more to steady himself and not go tumbling forward with her, a look of panic on his face at her fall.
Ready to shout down at her, or even go climbing down the hole himself he paused in his action to look over at Fran, sense over riding his urge to dive down blindly into the unknown. Responsibility, somehow, creeping into his skull.At least it's not trying to eat you,he tried to ease the tension, let the worry ebb out of him with a joke as he looked down the hole, only calmed when he heard her voice, the panic leaving. Which let him take a glance around them, and notice the damage done to the mountain, resisting the urge to let his jaw hang open. Concern instead replaced the panic from earlier as he looked around the group and shouted back down to Elanna once more.
But we might have another problem.
tl;dr
- Byron tried to grab Elanna's hand and failed at it
- Got worried and panicked until he heard she was alright and cracks a joke
- Notices the mountain and how it's nearly in half and makes a comment about it but doesn't explain what the "problem" is
