[Wow. Generally speaking, Connor tries to be polite, but this woman is getting on his nerves. He bristles, adjusting his positioning so he can hang off the side of the wall with one hand.]

What does it matter to you?

[stickanarrowinureye]

It doesn't!

[Grrr]

Show off. Anyone can climb a wall. See?

[No. Sera. Don't.



... She's in the tree.]

[akweks]

[What even. Connor just stays on the wall, watching with maybe some mild concern.]

Don't injure yourself.

[stickanarrowinureye]

Don't injure your butt.

[Okay, so maybe this was a bad idea. But wait. She can fix it.]

Hey stupid, have any rope?

[akweks]

[Wow, he's scandalised.

Connor glances down at the pouch at his hip. He has rope darts...] One moment.

[He can't exactly hand them to her if he's hanging off a wall, so he takes a second to climb up to an outcropping. Once he has his footing, he pulls out a coiled bunch of rope with a dart at the end, glancing over at her in the tree.]

For what?

[stickanarrowinureye]

Just throw it. Ugh! Do you need everything explained to you?

[akweks]

[Just throw it, she says. Well, fine.

Connor swings the rope dart a few times to pick up speed, then expertly flings it to the dart embeds itself into the tree.]

Be careful.

[stickanarrowinureye]

[Yeah. Yeah. Expertly blah blah blah pbbbt.]

You be careful.

[She takes out her knife and cuts the rope from the dart and then. Yes. Ties the rope to an arrow. It's completely different, okay.

Aim, fire. Perfect hit onto the wall. She'll tie the other end to the tree and Humphs at him in triumph!]

[akweks]

[LADY those things aren't cheap. Okay.

Connor just watches with a very gently simmering annoyance. She could have just... climbed over...]

Now what.

[stickanarrowinureye]

[No, this way is perfect. Shhhh.

She snickers.]

You'll see.

[Finally, she's climbing the rope up to the wall. Rope burn rrrrrrrgh.]

[akweks]

[Connor just stays perched where he is... watching... this is almost painful...]

You do not have to prove anything, you know...

[stickanarrowinureye]

Shut it!

[This is hard okay?? She's maybe halfway by now and it is no longer fun.]

[akweks]

Do you need help...

[stickanarrowinureye]

No! Maybe No. Now, shut up!

[Inching, inching. Yes, coming to help her might be a good idea right now.]

[akweks]

[The real question is how is he going to do this without smacking her against the wall. Or the ground. Hm.

Standing, he takes another rope dart from his pouch, swings it, and launches it to the tree. His aim is good; it hits the tree right next to where she'd tied the other rope. With the end of it in hand, he climbs to where she'd shot the arrow and ties this rope to it as well. Now there are two ropes suspended next to each other.]

If that is not thick enough to walk on, I have more. It'll be faster this way.

[stickanarrowinureye]

Walk on?! Stupid and crazy.

[Still inching. Such a process.]

[akweks]

[Sighing, he just takes another rope dart out and repeats it.] Like a bridge, yes.

[stickanarrowinureye]

No. Show off. Arse. Piss off!

[Sigh. Sera.]

[akweks]

[Welp. He tried. Finding a perch, Connor just rests his chin in his hand and watches. Any day now...]

[stickanarrowinureye]

[Okay. So. Not her best idea. And it's somehow all your fault, just so you know. It takes her a long while. But, yes. Hello. She makes it to the other side. Not touching the other ropes. She looks a little mad and rips her arrow out from the wall. Waste not want not.]

Friggin arse. See? Made it. Told you anyone can do it. The ladder, where is it?

[akweks]

[Connor would like his rope darts back, maybe. He holds his hand out expectantly, eyebrow arching under the shadow of his hood.]

What ladder?

[stickanarrowinureye]

[She's oblivious to your wishes. Use your words.]

The ladder! You were up here forever and never even started looking? Are your eyes broken or something?

[akweks]

[No fooling though, those things are expensive. His hand is still out.] The rope darts. Please.

[stickanarrowinureye]

Fine. Rope. [She'll hand that over and then point to the tree.] Darts.

Ladder?

[akweks]

[The darts are the most expensive part......... Connor gazes longingly at the tree, but he'll just have to climb back there later. He begins coiling the rope.]

I don't see one.
