...people who want to punch you usually don't wait for you to walk into their fist, right? At least, he's pretty sure they don't, and he's been on the punched end of things. Is this a gentlemanly ritual?
Shouldn't you have a little more confidence in me by now?
[ They've been living in a sinkhole for what, a couple of weeks now? At the very least, he's been able to survive-- and not just via drinking water either. But no, he kids, he kids, he'll let her go up first. Serious. ]
....Mmmmayyybe! I mean, you are still alive all of this time later, so I guess you're not hopeless at surviving!
[With a shrug, she'll start climbing up the ladder, and despite her appearance, she is a soldier; it's really not hard for her to quickly and easily scale the height of the sinkhole and climb right back out.]

That would probably work! We could even hide it behind a bookshelf or something, and then only people who know about it could see it!

We'll just have to take that risk.

I mean, if you look at it like--if we don't do it, and if we do and the building happens to burn to the ground, the outcome is the same either way!
So we may as well give it a try! We've got nothing to lose!

And then after that, she holds up a fist. CONSPIRATORY FISTBUMP???]

It's a fistbump, Lante, a fistbump! You have to bump your fist against mine, and it's a demonstration of camaraderie and agreement!
no subject
[ He obliges, but he's still not sure how hard he's to hit her fist so he's gonna fistbump gingerly. Hopefully it passes muster. ]
no subject
[you pass, lante. you pass.]
So now we've fistbumped on it, it'll have to be the case!
no subject
We'll just have to do our best!

[...anyway so--]
Do you want to climb up the giant ladder first?
no subject
Eh? Ah-- no, you can go first.
no subject
And she laughs at that.]
Well, okay then! But that means if you fall, there won't be aaaanyone to catch you!
[Just saying. She's moving towards the rope ladder now.]
