...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?

[ 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. ]

[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.]
