I won't. I'll talk to you the whole time, okay?

[His hands can't get a grip in the cement, but when he tries to find purchase with his feet, it... sticks?

Huh.]

I-- I got my foot to stick to the wall!

[Doing a bad job at not looking, but at least at the moment it's more surprise than the idea that he's lying or anything]

O-oh! How, what did you do?

I don't know! I think my shoes got really sticky!

[Carefully, he tests to see how much weight one foot could take - then tries the other foot. It sticks too!!! With a gasp of triumph, he starts to wobble-crawl upwards]

It's working! I'm coming, hang on tight!

O-okay! Be careful!

[Covers her eyes, though peeks out anyway]

[It seems to be working! He does not look cool, at all, but he's slowly making his way up to her.]

Halfway there... almost...!

[When he finally reaches her, he chances standing up(?) a tiny bit... to find that he's still not slipping. Huh.]

Here, gimme your hand!

[sorry, he is the coolest hero she has ever seen,]

[she reaches out, careful not to lean too far just in case, but eventually able to grasp at his fingers]

I--I almost got it...!

[He thrusts his hand forward to take hers fully, clasping it tight.]

There! Now just... take a step forward. You won't fall, I'm right here.

[Grips back, her hand a little clammy]

Nn...

[Scrunches her eyes shut and hhhhesitantly takes a step. And then peeks them open again, to make sure he's still right there (hand holding or not), and takes another, until she's able to reach him]

There, that wasn't so hard.

[He's starting to feel a little more confident in these sticky shoes now - 'standing up' straight seems super easy! It didn't make sense, but WHY QUESTION IT.]

Hold on, I can piggy-back you the rest of the way.

O-okay... Th-thank you...

[Following the head of her new hero; if nothing else she doesn't think he's going to just like push her down and laugh or anything]

[Gonna try and heft her onto his back - sticky shoes, still going strong - and once he's sure she has his arms tightly around his shoulders,]

Hold on tight.

[Hurries down the wall and hops off onto blessed, solid ground, feeling distinctly Cooler now.]

O-oh!!

[Clings tightly until they're safely down, and honestly a while after that. But before she can overstay her welcome too much, she clambers back to the street in front of him, sighing to be back vertical. And then she bows deeply at the waist]

Th-thank you... That...that was awesome!

[HE HAS NEVER HAD ANYONE BOW TO HIM IN HIS LIFE EVER. Genuinely just startled, he freezes-- looks around, and then pulls the hood tight over his head, hot with embarrassment.]

N-ngh it's not that big a deal!

[???]

But you saved me. Nobody ever did that before... S-so, I owe you...
