It's all right. I should have braced myself better. [She'll mull that over a moment, then smile some. There's an obvious joking tone in what she says next:] Don't do anything terrible if you do, or you'll never live it down.
[But she'll return to being serious.] How should we do this, then?
[...ok, that was cute. Maron will chuckle a little and shake her head.] But you did, Kyon! You started to blush again. [It's doing wonders to dispel the fact that she's nervous to get back over the lava again to get the way out built up.
As it is, she's getting ready to reach for the chair again, kneeling at the edge of her bed. She'll get it this time, or... she'll melt her face off.]
P-probably not, and I'd prefer not to have that happen! I'm... I'm ready when you are, Kyon!
[This is just awkward. Hopefully no one else can come in, or will, at this moment because... wow how bad would this look?! But, after a moment of steeling herself to pretty much launch her upper body over some lava, she'll let out an "All right!" and... do just that.
This time, she's a little more successful in grabbing the chair. She'll pull it far enough to where she knows her legs can reach it, and more than likely, Kyon's as well.]
Now we just have to get over to the door from here! We're almost free!
[She'll settle herself back next to Kyon, smiling brightly. That wasn't so bad... yet!]
Well... we can get ourselves on to the table and either dive out the door and hope it breaks on the way out, or grab the step-stool and we can open the door that way... and hope we don't fall into more lava.
Probably not. We just have to hope for the best! [SHE'S PERFECT AT REASSURING PEOPLE] But even if we die, we come back... so there's that! [Totally perfect.]
Are we just going to jump through? Hope for the best? It's probably our best option, but if we can land on our feet, we can probably escape dying a horrible death at least.
Do you think you can get on to the table all right? I don't want you to hurt your feet more.
['Could we try to stay away from phrases like "probably escape dying a horrible death" please? It's just a little ... draining.']
Yeah--Yeah, I got it. Jump through and hope for the best, get on the table--[He starts to clamber his way over a little awkwardly, and wobbles a bit, but is...
'Far too manly to ask for help? To need help, I mean. Yeah.' ... going to continue trying to get over.]
[Far too manly, but she'll help anyway because she's a bro-- sis?-- like that.]
I'll try to get the door, you get ready to jump. Maybe, with any luck, we'll land in a safe place and not someone else's room where they have an ocean full of man-eating plants or something.
[She's so good with being reassuring, isn't she? Still, Maron will get herself to open the door, and... well it looks normal so far, and she didn't fall into the boiling lava below them doing so, two pluses for the price of one.]
Should we jump at the count of three and jump together? Or separately?
Right. That seems like a good idea. I don't want to get lost in a maze of rooms or something while you're safe for the time being or vice versa.
[She's not sure how to stick together, unless it's by holding hands or doing something awkward like holding on to each other and jumping, so... Maron will just stick out her hand and hope that works?]
[And off they go! Through the door, away from the lava and... hopefully not burning to death! Somewhere in the span of them jumping, Maron had squeezed her eyes shut as well and was hoping for something that didn't equate to death. But once they were likely through the door she opened them again to see a regular floor. Where they were didn't matter, it wasn't with lava at least!

[But she'll return to being serious.] How should we do this, then?
no subject
And he will blush before trying to be serious himself.]
Umm... I don't know, do you want me to hold--like--your legs or something...?
[he really has zero idea completely.]
no subject
Hm hm... will it make you blush again if that's fine?
[Okok she'll be serious.]
My waist might be best, actually. Just as long as I don't fold over and hit the lava, we'll be good!
1/2
... No.

['"Probably wouldn't be helpful," he said. Yeah, that's an accurate appraisal of the danger.']
Whenever you're ready.

P-probably not, and I'd prefer not to have that happen! I'm... I'm ready when you are, Kyon!
no subject
I...'m afraid I can neither confirm nor deny those allegations.
['Okay, okay.'
He tentatively grips her around the waist, then. Wow, this is -- new.]
All right. Go for it, Maron-chan... I'll be here.
['"I'll be over here," he said gallantly. Wait, shouldn't it be "I'll be here for you?"
Whatever...']
no subject

[She'll settle herself back next to Kyon, smiling brightly. That wasn't so bad... yet!]
no subject
'And I did pretty much completely nothing! But I'll still congratulate myself.']
So, ready for part two? How do you want to do this?

Well, let's get to it, then.

Do you think you can get on to the table all right? I don't want you to hurt your feet more.

Yeah--Yeah, I got it. Jump through and hope for the best, get on the table--[He starts to clamber his way over a little awkwardly, and wobbles a bit, but is...

I'd say together. Who knows what'll happen if we pass through separately?

[...Shutting eyes now. Maron's hesitating to say three. Scared? Her? You better believe it.]
no subject
['...You're leaving me hanging here, Sifsis!']
...Two and a half...?
no subject
Three!
[And jumps. Here's to hoping Kyon goes too.]
no subject
['Here goes nothing.'
The grabbing on is unexpected but he launches off at the doorway, closing his eyes.
'...and waiting to be burned to death! At least it's with a cute girl, right?! Really grasping at straws now.']
no subject
But with a floor comes a CRASH on to it.]
no subject
Oh well.'
He lies there for a second before struggling to get to at least a sitting position.]
...You okay?
no subject
no subject
[He rubs his shoulder with a wince, looking around at the surroundings. Unfamiliar.]
You know where this is?
no subject
No... unless we're in one of the empty rooms. It doesn't look like it's inhabited.
no subject
[He looks warily around a little longer before shrugging.]
Well, I don't know about you, but I don't really feel like risking another door just yet.
no subject
[And after a pause:]
No being a total... guy about things either, don't do anything dirty.
no subject
Fine. As long as you don't be a total girl about things and accuse me of being a pervert when it's an innocent misunderstanding.
