Nah... Usually too many people around, and getting flagged down by picnicking Sensitivs or something's kind of a buzz kill. I skipped straight to the hard stuff.

Game Tower. Think that's a little taller than Rainbow Bridge, though we did that, too. I've been up the Sky Tree, but took the elevator for most of it.
[She feels positive enough about the idea; hopeful, almost. She brightens completely when they hit the tea house, circling around it to find the best vector of approach]
So... Basically you wanna figure out your route before you start. It's harder to see once you're actually up there... But see that corner, by the eaves?
[Points to a place on the back where the building juts out in an L shape, a rough wooden beam standing exposed between plaster walls, a bit of space between the tiled roof and the upper floor]
[He jogs toward it, taking a running start... leaps at the beam and pulls himself up without much trouble. From there, he picks his way up onto the roof, following Nemesis' instruction.
Using his body always feels rewarding, which is why he likes working out and sparring and doing sports and stuff. So he's enjoying himself quite a bit.]
He can't put his finger on it, but there's some kind of rightness about being up high. There's a large part of him that's confident that if he were to step out into open air, it would only be the first step in climbing higher, and that jumping off means taking flight instead of falling down.
Instead of feeling a fear of falling, it's almost seems like the lack of fear is more dangerous.
Anyway, he jumps—!
—and lands easily, with the pleasure and satisfaction of a good landing that didn't break anything.]

Re: Nemesis
How've you been doing with...lifting?
Re: Nemesis
Lifting's good! I'm bench pressing around 300 lbs these days.

[Low-key words notwithstanding, she is genuinely impressed; envious in a way completely without malice]
That's like four Thorns, right?
Re: Nemesis
His tone is still light, however]
Yep! Two for each hand!
[he pantomimes lifting four Thorns]
Re: Nemesis
Maybe you could show me your routine sometime, for reference.

[hey look it's the tea house]

Could pull yourself up there, right?
Re: Nemesis
Yeah, I think I can do that.
[limbering up a bit]
Then I can keep making my way up from there, right?

Re: Nemesis
She follows him up not long after, though with somewhat more trouble--she'll have to work harder, can't rely on Hell powers forever...
At any rate, they make it to the top, the extra little tower at the top of the roof, and she grins with anticipation]
How you feeling? From here's the easy part, since gravity'll do most of the work.

Re: Nemesis
Well? Still in one piece? What'd you think?
Re: Nemesis
Gonna try it and see? Want me to catch you?!
