Good with her hands, in all senses of the word~~</em><br/><strong>Post Number:</strong>10<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As per usual, Cass pretty much spotted everything that Tem did; not much tended to escape the other woman, that much she'd already learned from their other adventures together, and she supposed it made sense. After all, if your living relied on picking out targets and ensuring that your guns were reliable and not liable to blow up in your face, your eyes had to be fairly sharp, right? Beyond which, naturally if you were going to use something as loud and obvious as a gun in combat, you needed to ensure that you knew the terrain ahead of time because after that first shot, resuming a stealthy approach was not exactly something that you could rely on. At least with her bow, she had a decent chance of fading back into the shadows and going unnoticed, since...well, a bow was a damn sight quieter than a firearm. Her eyes scanned the areas that Cass pointed out as she did so, nodding to herself; yes, all things that she, too, had spotted, and of course Cass was quick to analyse their viability. For the most part, then, Tem largely needed to stay quiet...which suited her just fine. Better than struggling to pretend that everything was just fine between them, when no doubt both of them could feel the awkwardness stretching to breaking point.<br/><br/>Her eyes did flicker over towards the rear of the fort, however, when Cass pointed out the secret entrance. Or exit, as the case may have been. A possible way in, though the climb looked exceptionally dangerous...they'd need a hook and a rope to get in, and considering how vast and open this area was...well, they would be hard pressed to do that quietly. And if somebody happened to hear them when they were climbing up, all it took was a cut rope and they were all<em>fucked,</em>and not in the good way. She grimaced a little and gestured to the entrance that Cass hadn't mentioned.<strong>"Th' North Entrance looks like a good bet, too,"</strong>she murmured softly.<strong>"A bit've a climb, bu'...looks like w' c'n stay hidden as w' climb 'n get right up t' th' front door. I ain' so good wi' climbin', but I'm sure some'n in our l'il party is. Some'n'd prob'bly hear a hook, though. Might need t' cover up their ascent with a distraction'a some kind."</strong>She shook her head. Well...time to get back, she supposed, with yet more aching fucking minutes of awkward silence. She felt like she should...she didn't know, say something? But what could she say, when she blatantly had no idea what the fuck was up? She could just end up making things worse.<br/><br/>See, when it came to talking to people, Tem was used to people at least being favourably inclined towards her. She really had no experience dealing with somebody who was outright<em>angry</em>at her, at least, not any of her friends. She did her best to stay on their good side specifically because she was worried about losing another family. It was not a comfortable feeling, to know that your friend hated you for some reason and you could probably do very little to change it. She let out a small sigh of frustration as they slowly crawled from the large crater they were hiding in and slipped back towards the treeline, angling to circle around and back to the rest of the group. Just as she was gearing up for another long walk in silence, however, she heard Cass speak. It was...forced levity, perhaps, and it did nothing to allay the feeling of awkwardness, but...she was talking to her. That was a good sign, right? Then why did it just twist her gut up even more than the silence? Was it the forced levity, the idea that Cass was having to<em>force</em>herself to be cheerful and teasing? Or was it just the fact that she still didn't know what the fuck was up, and this just felt like...a lead up to whatever was wrong?<br/><br/>She managed to keep the frown off of her face. This...this was how Cass had chosen to do it, and if it had been Tem that had upset Cass, then Cass was allowed to choose whatever method she wished to deal with it. Tem might not feel overly comfortable with it, but if she'd been the one to piss off Cass somehow, then she just had to fuckin' deal with it. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to smile airily as she glanced at Cass.<strong>"Don' I always?"</strong>She asked as sweetly as she could, even forcing herself to flutter her eyelashes playfully. The action felt a bit hollow, even to her.<strong>"W' met a few months ago, 'fore our last l'il adventure. Y'know, th' business wi' that group'a wannabe highwaymen with th' funny hats 'n the stash'a pineapples?"</strong>That had been a<em>weird</em>job.<strong>"He walked in on m' bathin, y'know. Poor boy was almos' beside 'imself when I made no move t' cover m'self up. He's a good lad, though, 'n he ain' too bad in th' sack. Pretty kinky, too, 'n you know the sorta stuff 'm int'."</strong>Ok, this time, she couldn't help herself; she gave a slightly impish grin, shaking her head lightly.<strong>"His sis is pretty hot too, y'know. And Ven...well. She's alotta fun too. Get her in th' sack wit' Mouse, 'n she gets all sortsa compet'tive. 't's supa cute."</strong>She'd actually been meaning to introduce Ven to Cass and Mira for a while now...she was the kinda gal they'd likely get on with, and their little group could always use a new face to coo over. Maybe this little adventure was the right time to do it? If she was taking up adventuring, then she'd need some guidance from people who'd already done it, naturally, and who better than the group of gals who'd already been on a few quests together? Besides, seeing Mira gay out over a new pretty face was always funny!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">TL;DR</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tem points out the difficulty of the climb, and then points out the Northernmost entrance.
