ooc: Have to say the line following the thread title could have rather appropriate 'I could die a happy man I'm sure' - perhaps just the 'I could die' bit in Kismet's mind right now though!
Warja really didn't offer him any other hints as to where they might be going and it didn't take Kismet long to give up asking. Blindly he continued to follow the girl, his mind still fearful though heart certainly willing to trust her. There was also perhaps a part of him that remained protectively hoped that he'd be able to keep her from getting hurt on this expedition should any harm threaten them. Once he had tried to face of those howler monkeys for her, although he was becoming far more aware of it now, the urge to keep Warja safe had formed within him since their first meeting. A lot had changed since those days, though his care for his friend had only grown.
At last Warja would come to a stop, it took Kismet a moment to figure out just why she had paused, though gazing down he soon caught sight of the tear in the ground. Mismatched eyes would focus upon it's depths, though he certainly couldn't see a bottom to the jagged hole and curiously he would glance up towards Warja again. She couldn't honestly be considering going down there now could she? Dangerous? They could bloody well die jumping down the seemingly bottomless pit.
A smile was all she gave him though before asking if he was ready. Ready for what exactly? He still refused to believe that she was going to consider this death drop and yet before he could even speak took a step closer and jumped down into the hole. His breath caught and heart stopped in fear, he couldn't even shout, eyes widening in terror as he peered through downwards. There was a soft thud as she landed and the disturbed dust floated upwards so swiftly that even before he saw her grinning face he knew she hadn't fallen far. He hadn't noticed the ledges before, though now he certainly noticed them as his dear friend stood upon one.
"You could have warned me." He called down, though he was unable to help the small grin that was forming upon his features as he shook his head slightly in disbelief. She was crazy but then again maybe he was crazier as with no further encouragement he would drop down to join her upon the ledge.
