Aiden Shepard [ Abraham Van Helsing ] (arcere) wrote in bellumlogs,
"Apparently there's no other choice," he said dryly in response to Hannah, once they'd all taken their bandannas and he was left to cross on his own. Aiden turned and stood in front of one of the wires, thinking about what in god's name he was actually supposed to do. How did they go about this at the circus? Maybe shoes would have been worse here ...
Glancing back once (not entirely sure why), he very hesitantly stepped out onto the wire. He expected to fall immediately - as he wasn't exactly the king of inner balance - but he stayed straight up. His stomach roiled and lurched with the terror of it all and he absolutely tried his best not to look down.
He stepped forward with his other foot, arms flung out to keep his balance ... and it kept.
