“I’ll tell you this; you keep doing it you’ll be strong. Right here, at the core.” Curling her toes, she takes a hand away from the wall, clenching it in a fist in front of her stomach for a moment before she finds her fingerhold, pushing up to take some of the strain away. “Keeps you very trim and eventually you feel the eyes follow you. Of course those on the ground get a very good angle to see the benefits of hard work.”

You get used to the calls and whistles. In time you even get good enough to wink or blow a kiss to the admirers.

“Trust me, I fell coming here. All the way up and I had to dig my way out and I would have shamed even the oldest, saltiest sea dog with my cursing.” But really, sinking up to your shoulders in snow and her teeth had chattered so hard she thought they’d break. “You could get hurt because you have to land differently and because it’s cold, you tense up and if you tense up falling, that’s when you break a bone. I don’t know how magic works on those but escorting someone to the healers to watch isn’t how I want to find out. Korrin offered barriers but I’d need to try that first to see how much it changes things.”

Up she goes as she talks, pushing that list bit with care before she’s up and over, kneeling down to offer a hand when he makes it too in case it’s needed. The first time with this is always the hardest, realising just how heavy a body is when you’ve got to force it upwards once again.
