Myrtha is improvising a plan as first Lyrel then the others climb down the rope. "Let’s all get against the wall. Chase can check from the main door corner, see what else can be seen from there. Maybe Ember could check the other corner, see if another entrance is apparent… the rest of us stay put and then we decide which way to go. What do you think?"
"There's also that small building against the wall," Aanbo observes as he anchors the rope for the others to clamber down. Finally, it's just him and Ember still atop the wall. She gestures to him; he's a little skeptical, but she insists, so he passes her the rope. He needn't have worried; while Ember's not as strong as Myrtha, a life of balcony break-ins, narrow escapes, and always having to prove herself on the street has honed the young woman's athleticism to a high degree. Once Aanbo has made the descent, Ember tosses the rope down as there's nothing to tie it to. Then she slowly lets herself down, hangs from her hands, finds a foothold, and begins crawling down the wall as sure as an insect.
Once she's down on the ground, Ember and Chase nod wordlessly to each other and begin moving off toward the different parts of the compound.
