He'd largely pushed Ming behind him to shield her from the whipping cable, but now she was looking up at him with a dimpled little smile and a wide, innocent looking expression of wonder and gratitude. It was rather pleasant, actually, which he supposed wasn't a surprise; girls looking at him like a savior was always a nice feeling, and Ming was definitely attractive enough that it gave it a certain boost. It wouldn't last long - especially since it looked like Kali was striding up to interrupt the moment - so he enjoyed it while he could, giving Ming a sly wink.<strong>"Hey, I told y' I could be a gentleman, 'member?"</strong>he said with a grin.<strong>"So don' mention it."</strong>The moment, of course, came to an end when Kali slipped up and took hold of the rope - better her than him - and grabbed hold of Ming, taking off as she did so. That was a bit presumptuous - just grabbing a girl and hoisting her up without nary a word of questioning! Somebody should teach Kali some basic manners! - and pretty dangerous when beginning to climb on her own, but hey, Ming was a big girl. If she didn't like it, she could make her displeasure known...though it was transparently an effort to get to feel the cutie up again without being called out on it. But then again, he supposed<em>he</em>couldn't say much there, now could he? He chuckled at the thought.<br/><br/>Though, a notion did occur to him; clearly, Kali was better at climbing than most of them, and it didn't make sense for her to go up and down four times. They didn't know how sturdy that cable was, and all it would take was one mistake and they could all fall to their deaths. However...he had something that could help. As Kali was about to begin climbing, he stopped her with a hand on her shoulder, reaching into his bag.<strong>"Take this,"</strong>he said, producing his silk rope, grappling hook and Anytool.<strong>"Use th' tool t' fasten the rope if y' can, 'n the rest've us can use it t' climb up th' wall faster'n easier'n us gettin' carried up one at a time. Also means y're up there t' keep our crestin' point safe 'n secure."</strong>He paused and gave Ming a wink and a smile.<strong>"Be careful up there, l'il'un."</strong>He blew her a cheeky kiss before stepping back to give them room. Only thing to do now was wait, frankly. Yeah, others might be good enough to climb the cable, but if there was an easier way up...why risk it, yeah? Path of least resistance 'n all that. No sense risking it when you didn't have to; there was brave, and just stupid, after all. That was just sensible thinking! Besides, he just wanted out of this goddamn lab-thingy quickly. He was getting more'n a little sick to the back teeth of this place and all its fucky bullshit. Sooner he could get into a pub and get a drink, the better!
