Huh...

Or, I bet I could give you a boost, if you wanted to try from this side. Either way, lead the way.

[Circling around to the back]

[He starts to climb, easy, picing out handholds that are tricky to spot in the dim lighting, as though he's done this before several times]

[Follows, pulling herself up with somewhat more trouble, since no point in getting complacent with powers]

[He's hauling himself up a few minutes later - peeks over the edge to make sure she's doing okay]

[Her nightvision isn't great, so it takes a bit for her to find the handholds, but she's eventually able to pick her way up. (It's possible he sees another set of eyes staring at him as she climbs, but don't worry about that,)]

[hmmm,]

[that seems unfortunate,]

[But he makes space for her to climb up. Just as promised, the view is phenomenal]

[there's a few, but she adjusts her scarf and it's fine, don't worry about it,]

[Eventually she makes it up to stand beside him, staring over the vista]

Oh wow...

[He is a little worried about it,]

[But it seems like she doesn't want him to see, so,,,]

Right? S'even better from up here.

[If he's made it this long without finding out then he probably never needs to know :|b]

Yeah... This's awesome.

Yeah... it's real nice.

[But he's looking for them, now - keeping an eye out (hah) to see if he can see any more]

[There doesn't seem to be anything wrong--why would there be? Gosh. She shifts--fiddles with her scarf again, smoothing it high and flat against her neck, and adjusts the cuffs of her jacket, making sure they fall over her wrists.

And then she reaches for his hand, casual]

[He takes it - laces their fingers together and gives a little squeeze]

[Smiles back at him, a little shy]

Did you wanna sit for a little or did you have other stuff planned?

Can I...

[He hesitates - doesn't want to ruin the mood, but doesn't want to not ask. What if it's important? What if it's some game thing, that needs to get taken care of? What if they hurt her, and he hasn't known to avoid them all this time...?]

Can I, like... ask you something?
