May
*She'd started up the stairs before they rumbled ominously, then she pauses, brows furrowed. Stretching her tail up the stairs, one crumbles.* "Well, we are decidedly not going this way." *As back down she goes, looking up awkwardly.*

"Sorry." *She chuckles, then looks to the sky and the sun.* "Ah, I should go back. I've work to do tomorrow."
Ann
"Ah!" Hearing the stairs crumble Dovie stumbles behind Cynthia to catch her just in case, although it would be a pointless attempt since Cynthia weighed *Much* Heavier. Catching her would just get Dovie hurt.

"Ah, no don't worry about it!"

He stepped aside for Cynthia to move past him. "But thank you by the way. For trying to go up the stairs."
May
*She laughs, rubbing her head.* "It's fine! It would've been fun and someone smaller than me might be able to. Or someone able to make something to walk up."

*She looks up the steps, skin and scale drawing back inward to their natural state. Smiling she says,* "It was nice meeting you though. Sorry I wasn't much help getting up there. My body just weighs too much, and I'm not overly used to climbing. Or moving quickly."
Ann
"Really don't worry about it. I wouldn't even be brave enough to go up there myself."

He dips his head down for a slight bow, "It was pleasure meeting you too Cynthia. It was a nice..." He scrunches up his face and lets it go with a laugh, "Adventure?"
May
*Smiles, mimicking the motion of the bow awkwardly considering her size and tail, then she laughs.* "It was adventure enough. Still I hope you have a good day?" *She tilts her head*. "And I'm sure you would have been brave enough. It's just a few steps, and you weigh less than I do."

*Slithering her way back towards the entrance, she calls,* "Besides, how often can you visit an old fort like this?"
