"He disapproves. But usually quietly."

Mostly because he knows by now that disapproving loudly doesn't really solve anything with her. She crosses her arms, hesitating before they head down the hallway.

"So is this some sort of weird subconscious thing or were you really in jail?"

Kyna peers at him, standing up on her tiptoes as though to get a better look at his face. She's analyzing.

"You're totally a jailbird. Maybe former jailbird? A misspent youth?"

As she's talking, something shifts down the hallway, so subtle it's just a shadow flitting in the corner of her eye. She tenses, turning to look, but doesn't see anything.

"You know the way out of here, right?"

"It's your dream," she shoots back, but maybe that's only half true. She's never sure where her subconscious ends and the other person's begins in these things. Maybe she could take control of it, wish them an exit, but lately her dreams haven't been great. She's not sure what will happen if she does. That shadow she saw only feels like proof.

"Come on, try it."

That's... well. Vaguely terrifying.

"We're climbing?

It isn't that Kyna is afraid of heights, exactly. In fact, some people might even call her an adrenaline junkie. It's just that the most rock climbing she's ever done is on one of those walls when she was in high school.

But it's not like she can die, right?

"Fuck it. It's just a dream."

Kyna shoots him a look over her shoulder, wrinkling her nose, an I can totally do this look. It starts out easy enough, closer to the bottom. The brick doesn't bite into her fingers like it would in real life, but about ten feet up, she hits a section of wall that makes her stop. The problem is, she's short, and her arms aren't long enough to reach the next handhold.

Kyna looks over her shoulder for the sole purpose of shooting him a look, sticking her tongue out in a very mature way. She really doesn't want to pull some body horror shit in here, so she focuses on the wall instead, and miracle of miracles, it shifts in a way she can't quite track or parse. It doesn't matter, though, because suddenly there's a handhold right where she needs it. Ta-da.

So up she goes, the whole thing much easier with the wall transforming as she needs it to.
