"How about we go together?" Nyota suggested as she reached out and took his hand. The stairwell was big enough for the both of them, certainly, and it wasn't like there was any reason for either of them to specifically go first. If they went together, neither would be in anymore danger than the other, and they could protect each other from an equal point.
"We'll be safer that way," Nyota said with a nod. It was hard to tell whether that was the truth or just a reassurance that she was giving herself. But she didn't really want to think about that. It was easier if she just believed what she said.
