[Was he about to say something? She wondered, since...well, they don't have a plan. Perhaps now it is just best to survive. But she trusts Sandalphon at least, because he's realistic. So she starts after him, following him as they climbed, hoping that nothing is going to leap out at them again. Who knows what could happen now.
Maybe it was also one of those moments where Sandalphon would say it would've been easier if he was able to fly them through this hunk of junk.]
That's what it is. It's really really. And so they're climbing and it's awkward and there's the sound of the wind above them, the ground below them, the vines creaking all around them. There's the feeling of eyes on them. Lots and lots of eyes.]
We need a map or some idea of the structure of this place if we are to break it.
[There. Speaking of there, doesn't it seem like there's another platform right up there?
Actually, no, it seems to be an elevator of the 'moving slabs of wood traveling up and down the structure' type, except now Sandalphon looks it seems...
...kind of wrapped in the vines?
He's starting to suspect the vine maze wasn't completely intended and isn't really enjoying this realization. Sure, they had some vines planned, probably, but without a gardener going around trimming them they might have invaded and choked the place and fuck all of this.
Focus on the maze. And the map. And figuring out how this works.]
[It's as he thought. Absolutely, a hot mess. And she agrees with him, also that part where he suggests they need a map.
In most cases, a map would be lying around somewhere because apparently, while temple architects would make these death traps, they also happened to like giving people a lifeline. She would never understand this.]
Hmm, I suppose one could treat the search of the map as part of how we would handle our missions. Even if we are to break it straight after.
[Except...there's a roadblock already.]
Once we figure out all the Plan B's we'll need to get past this place. [She bends down to try to look past some of the vines. Thick as ever.]
Do we...[Keep...climbing...?! She gestures upwards, and doesn't like the idea of it.]
