Raelyn
There was a person in the hole, and it suddenly made a whole lot more sense why her dogs were losing their ever-loving minds. Now that they'd attracted their human to the source of the problem, the creatures stopped barking and settled for circling the hole, whining occasionally, their tails wagging eagerly as though awaiting praise for a job well done. Didn't realize I'd trained search and rescue dogs, she thought to herself as she studied the person down in the hole; they seemed entirely unconcerned with their dilemma, lying on the ground with their legs up the side of the hole, waving up at Rae cheerfully. The trainer wasn't sure how they were so calm, but that was none of her business.
Although she supposed she'd better help them out of the hole.
"I can see that," she called back with a raised eyebrow. The hole-person looked somewhat familiar, but Rae couldn't quite place the face with a name. "Hold on - I'll see what I can do." And so Rae disappeared from the hole, removed her bag from her shoulder, and began digging around in her supplies. Perhaps she had a rope with her and could use that to help pul the stranger out of the hole...
Much to her relief, there was a rope in the bag, and she grabbed it with a sense of vague satisfaction that her past self had had the foresight to throw it in with her other supplies. After tying one end to a nearby tree, Rae returned to the hole. "I've got a rope," she called. "I can help pull you up!" And she tossed the rope into the hole.
