Aulus steps away in time from the opening crack to avoid a second concussion. He's not going to make the same mistake twice. He doesn't think to grab the hand of the woman he barely knows, and he's surpised she is alive. Then again, none here ought be mere commoners.
He peers down the lip, noting the garrish, sharp crystals lining the edge. Then, sets a glare at the woman who arrive with the griffon. (He doesn't intend to glare, but with everything that's happened today, its difficult to be the puppy dog you need to be to be favored. Atleast, thats how Aulus knew he needed to be as described in one of Octavia's books given to her by the magister: How to Make Companions and Influence them Politically. Yes, he'd read it, and it made sense, but Aulus was boiled in the military far too long to be a sycophant... let alone a normal person like all the others here who shared wry grins, dry flirtations, and nervous humor.)
When he tosses the rope down, he calls
tldr
- aulus speaks to lanariel
- aulus gets out a rope, anchors it to a piton, and tosses the end of the rope down.
- he shouts to elanna about getting out

Too narrow to fly?he asks businesslike, half knowing the answer with resentment. Aulus unfurls the length of rope at his hip, unless anyone has any brighter ideas. Aulus doesn't even want to think what creature would lay its eggs that far underground, so he keeps his mind on little things like how he can tie one end of the rope to a piton and drive that into the ground.
When he tosses the rope down, he calls
Better climb out!to the woman.
