Oh? I didn't know you were scoring me. I'll have to try harder next time.

[ The return is dry, but despite their current situation adds a mild layer of humor. She takes several step backs on the platform to allow him some landing room, amber eyes alert for any missteps she may be able to help keep him safe from.

Maybe it's that he's technically a bird, but he seemed relaxed making the jump. Seemed to be making a show of it by swinging out far further than necessary. She wondered about that, but said nothing as the few seconds pass and he lands next to her.

A hand instinctively going out to level him if needed while she released a breath that could be a laugh.]

I'd give you full marks, but I'm going to have to take off two points between the landing and the showiness.

[Shifting to look back over her shoulder, going all business for the moment:] There's something we can use as makeshift stairs and an incline to the next place.

If I didn't know any better I'd say how everything is set up is on purpose.

[Which the more she stands there, the more she questions. It's like an obstacle course.]
