Ithika sets her teeth and prepares for the worst as the Brelander sets off up the device.  She curses under her breath-- a vague memory of pain and terror, from before... of seeing a look in someone's eyes when she was being destroyed and driven through the stone... was he concerned about her then?  Did it actually hurt him to see her dying?<br/><br/>She waits.  She's furious at doing so, because she should have been the first to climb, and she can disable machines... but Garrett is incorrigible.  A smirk teases at her mouth as the rake scrambles off to try to kill himself.<br/><br/>((in the meantime: studying?  disable device check for understanding, maybe, even though she's actually touching anything yet?  22))
