"Don't worr--YEE!"
Pike slipped on a loose piece of rubble and tumbled down the pit once more, landing head over heels(?) next to Narya. His cheeks flushed at his clumsiness. "Sorry..."

I smiled at him, crouching down next to him.
Man, you're on a roll today, aren't you?
I laughed, offering him my hand... again.
I don't know why, but I have the feeling that you're going to make a habit out of this...

"For your sake, I should try to stop being un-elfin-like and stop wanting to hold your hand," Pike said, laughing. He was obviously joking with that latter flirt. But he accepted her help again, pulling himself to his feet. "Thanks... Shall we? Or shall I attempt to guide you up the pit as well?"

I punched him in the shoulder.
I think you should lead the way so you don't run me over when you fall again.
I replied, motioning for him to go first.

That didn't quite make sense to Pike. Since they were going up, if he led the way and fell, he would fall over Narya again. But no matter.
Pike made sure to test each piece of ruined stone before making a step as he made his way up. He checked every so often to see if Narya were still behind and okay.

ooc: ((he he, please excuse the fact that I didn't make sense back there...))
I smiled watching the edge draw closer and closer, and also watching Pike's footsteps. I found, against my better judgment, I was starting to trust him. Just a little bit, but it was there.

They reached the top without further trouble, unless it was a minor slip here or there-- usually in Pike's case that he managed to keep balance.
"Watch that last step," he said idly

And... I didn't. I tripped, falling flat on my face and almost slidding backward down the slope.
I burst into laughter, pushing myself up.
Are you sure there isn't, like a demon around, just tripping us up? A tripping demon or something...
I muttered, starting to make my way closer to the temple.

"You know, I've been trying to figure that out myself," Pike said. "And if there is, it's following you now too." He grinned at her, following behind.

Oh, well then. I blame you.
I replied over my shoulder, reaching a high, unbroken wall. I ran my hand along it. looking around the edge to see what was beyond. Yup, that was temple.
Erm, that way.
I said, pointing down one of the many roads leading from this central place.

"Of course," Pike said, grinning. He continued to follow her down the roads leading back to the temple. "From the temple you can lead us out of here, right?"

Of course. In fact, we are now out.
I replied, spinning in a circle. The ruins lay behind us, the tall towers laying broken and crumbled on the ground. Around us now was a wide field of grass, edged in long line of trees. The forest was just ahead.

"Awesome," Pike remarked.
It was a little soothing, now that he thought about it, to be out here in the countryside and away from any civilization at all. Maybe he was just having these thoughts because he had just encountered an extremely hazardous situation. Or maybe he just missed his home...

Alright, your turn to lead. Now, before we continue, I want to get something straight. I am not a leader, but, I like things done my way.
I explained, pausing on the forest's edge.
That means that when I "suggest" something, it basically means I want us to do it.
I added.
This isn't a problem, is it?

"Not yet," Pike said truthfully. "I'm sure we're going to be ramming heads together over something if that's the way you see your world."
He grinned casually. Well, at least their travels were destined to be eventful.
