Stay right there, and wait forto cto you." Ivor was mid-motion when he heard her voice and froze. After steadying himself, he looked at her and asked, "Is it another trap?" Bonnie nodded solemnly. "Yeah, it is. The surrounding floorboards are likely hollow, except for the one you're standing on. Don't move a muscle until I figure out how to get you out of there."

Even so, Bonnie realized she should have warned him earlier, especially after encountering the initial dart trap.
"Got it." Ivor nodded.
As Bonnie searched around, he asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" "I'm looking for something to substitute your weight. You can get out safely if I can place something of similar weight on the hollow floorboards." Ivor understood her plan. "Understood. I saw svases when we cdown the stairs earlier. You can try using one of those. Oh, splanks might work, too." "Vases, huh? That's a perfect idea." Bonnie's eyes lit up. "Wait here while I go and get them.” She hurried off and returned with two vases, which she placed onto the floorboards before Ivor. As expected, they shifted slightly, causing the surrounding boards to move out of alignment.

Ivor noticed the Nidhoggs' leader's emotional reaction before reminding her, "Maybe you should focus on to pre reminding gettingout of here first. You can consider Falcon's betrayal later."
Bonnie returned to her senses and laid splanks across the gap to form a makeshift bridge. "All right, En you can cover now." Ivor carefully stepped onto the planks and slowly made his way to Bonnie. Once across, he sighed in relief, "Phew, I'm safe." X
