Aeotha's eyes went from a cool understanding to open and terrified.
"Skandra!"
She ran forward and it was only Líobhan's equal quickness in catching Aeotha's robes in her outstretched fingers which kept Aeotha from falling over the edge of the cliif. Skandra was roaring with laughter only a short way down the rope which he was holding tightly in his gloved fingers. Aeotha let out a fierce and angry noise, pulled back from the edge of the cliff and Líobhan released her. There was nothing she hated more than these games. Skandra would use one breath to say something almost honorable, and the next pull something like this. She didn't know what she saw in him.
He was much too infuriating.
"I'll go next, then."
She grated out as she walked back to the edge, and carefully crawled over while holding the rope. She started down slowly, carefully, not travelling too fast, nor too slow. Once there was enough distance between her and the others still standing on the ground she turned her head down and looked right at Skandra with narrowed eyes. She couldn't look at him like that for too long, he was still laughing. Aeotha had to focus.
"You're absolutely.. I really.." Aeotha fumed from her place on the rope and continued down. Líobhan was now coming over the edge, eventually followed by Uaine.
But there was nothing to tell him. Aeotha was looking down past him and at the dark sphere which loomed closer and closer the further down they went.
