I'll drown eventually so don't save me
When the skyship dropped them off at what was swiftly becoming a regular stop, Maea had expected them to linger on the surface for a while. But thought the volcanic nature of the Climb made it warm enough, that didn't keep the weather from turning unpleasant. The hailstorm that descended upon them was of a vengeful nature and chased them underground with shards of ice nearly the size of fists.
Wiping water from her face and catching her breath, Maea glowered at the faint light of the entrance. "So much for taking it easy. I guess there won't be any birds underground, at least." Adjusting her coat and righting the skirts, she gave Asta a bleak smile. "Just so you know, I'm not... great, with tight places. Are you sure there's something down here worth seeing? I've already been to the room with all the obsidian." Though that was also the extent of her knowledge of the Climb, and a large part of the reason why she'd asked him along. Getting lost under ground was not something she wanted to experience if at all avoidable.
