He pulled as hard as he could his teeth digging into the branch he held between them as he walked backwards. Also if this to pull the woman from the pit before him his drive to get her out keeping him from giving up. He didn't know how she'd ended up in the pit but he was going to get her out. With each step backward he felt her come just a little higher in the pit. He didn't give up until she'd let go of the branch because then he would know she was safe and sound above ground. Once she was he could ask her what happened and how she'd gotten down there.
Finally after he's been pulling for what seemed forever her forelegs came over the edge followed by the rest of her. Emrys dropped the stick and went to her to begin checking her over to make sure she was okay. Before he could say anything though she's shot up and was kissing his face all over. He didn't stop her, letting her celebrate getting out of the pit. When she finished he met her gaze, “Are you alright ?” He asked taking in her appearance. “How did you end up down there?” Because he was overly curious to know.
