"The cliff-sides will not be an obstacle." Alissah commented dryly as she observed them from the corner of the room. Smokey, who was the one standing the closest to the enigmatic women, jerked on his shoulder before producing an odd wooden contraption featuring two pedal like levers on each side.

"If ye would but carry a rope up with ye, it won't be an issue for me either." Smokey commented with a large smile as he held the contraption and a bundle of rope up to the stoic Alissah.
"Of all here, I've probably got the biggest load to carry."

The woman merely stared down at the rugged dwarf in return, her grey eyes narrowing as she observed the dwarf. Not receiving any answers, Smokey raised an arm.

"Come on, lass; it's no big deal! I had better teamplayers in my last outfit, and they were all idiots!" Smokey began to complain, the dwarf raising the volume of his voice! Simply continuing to stare back at him for a moment, Alissah eventually extended a hand out from her coat to accept the rope.

"Very well, dwarf... "

Having observed the quarreling duo that was supposed to be his hired aide resolve their conflict on their own, Sharon returned his attention to Liaena and the Sentinels. Perhaps the first thing he noticed was the absolute suspicion that penetrated the eyes of the Night Elves as they stared down at the antitode that had been produced by Liaena as if it had been poison!

Deciding to step in before any exaggerated accusations of conspiracy or trickery could be levied against Liaena by the zealous elves, Sharon picked up the bottle for all the Night Elves to see as he turned to Serphia.

"Once we leave for the castle, I will take the first sip. Do not worry, the contents are entirely safe." Sharon assured the Night Elves, hosting his best smile while hoping that his confidence in Liaena would rub off on the Night Elves.

"Then we each have our purpose. Liaena will take Bella with her through her airborne entry, while I will accompany Serphia's elves, Liam and our mercs on the climb." Sharon explained to the rest of the group, before turning to look back at Serphia.
"I am no seasoned climber I'm afraid. But I can shrink myself down and accompany you that way."

Sharon proposed, albeit a little bit hesitantly. Perhaps when it came to the risks of shrinking oneself around Night Elves, no one knew it better than Sharon; thanks in no small part to Rithrynn. He doubted he'd get Serphia to carry both a full sized Liam and Sharon, with all his fancy armor and gear. However, it was a compromise that he was willing to make.
