Why would you want to climb it?

[He knows why he would, but it's unusual, and thus interesting, thing to say.]

I do care. [The statement is accompanied by an eye-roll and a huff. Someone considers themselves too good for ugly places.] If I'm going to be stuck somewhere I'd rather it be somewhere pretty.

[Eari shrugs.]

You never know. People do all kinds of weird shit. I've seen a city that's all mirrors. Difficult to get inside, but pretty solid defenses.

[He chuckles. Even most of it is muffled by the mask and the wind howling around them, it's recognizable by the way his shoulders shake a little.]

I'd rather take my excitement without a whole boatload of sand. The food is good though.
