Alaci hesitated for a moment before walking to the makeshift bridge. Alaci eyed the 'bridge' nervously. "I really hope this works again and I don't plummet to my death," Alaci muttered under her breath. Preparing herself, Alaci sprinted across the thin rope, keeping her balance and making it to the other side. She let out a sigh of relief and looked across and motioned for the others to hurry.

After seeing Coremean and Alaci making it across Andarlo followed suit. When he was halfway he looked down and said, "Wow, that's a long way down." He then continued to the other side. When he got off the bridge he clapped Coremean on the back saying, "Good work Coremean, you did a fantastic job."

Coremean gave a nervous laugh. "Save your thanks until everyone is accross..."

Midna barked a laugh. "Humans, I guess, have to find a way around everything. I, on the other hand..." She found a shady spot and merely floated across. "That was easy."
"Quit tooting your own horn," Zelda scowled. "I hate heights." Even after seeing Coremean and Alaci do it, she couldn't bring herself to walk across.

{{omigawd, you guys. SO MANY POSTS. xd }}
Link trotted over, still rotating his recently-injured shoulder. "Are you gonna go?" he asked, eying the princess. Even though they were in the middle of nowhere, Link felt that he should let the lady go first. "The thing about height related fears...." he began, "is that the fear is not of the height, but of falling. If you hang on tight, you won't fall, simple as that," he said, trying to reassure the princess as best he could.

Zelda eyed the rope nervously. "I-I don't know... I've got the balance of a lopsided cow..."
Midna scoffed. "Baby."
"I can't float, unlike some people!" Zelda snapped.

"Hang on Princess, I got you." Coremean tied one end of his grass rope to himself, planting his feet behind two rocks, and carefully aiming, he shot the other end near the other arrow. "I'll pull you up if you fall Princess."

"If? More like when," Midna muttered. She was growing a bit tired of being so sulky, though.
Zelda eyed the second rope. Coremean probably meant well, and he was great, but she wasn't too sure the teen could hold her up. She dithered, trying to figure out what to do and buy some time. "I'm still not sure..."
(I'm thinking... and there's still only one person that could put up with Midna... and he's up and vanished.)

Coremean saw Zelda's hesitance. "Hey Andarlo? Could you hold onto the rope too? It might give the Princess some assurance, and Midna-chan? If you want you can grumble while you're in my shadow."

Rayne smirked. "Should I cross first and help you?" The thief mumbled. He wasn't physically strong, but he was better than nothing. Besides, the princess wasn't too fat. She didn't need too many people to support her weight if she fell.

Zelda shrugged. "If you want..." She wasn't afraid of heights; just the ground. Any extra help would be perfect.
Midna wrinkled her nose as she hopped into Coremean's shadow. "Meh. And don't call me chan."

"Alright then. Just keep looking ahead..." Rayne stepped onto the rope. He made it about halfway across before the bridge faded from his sight. "Crap, crap, crap," he shouted as another dizzy spell warmed over. The thief's feet slipped out from underneath him, but he managed to grip the rope before he fell to his doom.
"Look, with balance like that, you won't make it anywhere." Rayne could see the little kid from earlier, and a new adult yelling at him. The kid was on the ground, and he appeared to have fallen off a rope tied between two trees. "You have to train, train, and train to get to where our family wants you!"
Rayne snapped back to reality, and found himself still hanging on the rope. He didn't have the room to get up and walk across again, but he could use his hands to move himself across. The thief stretched one arm closer to the other side, then slid his other hand to meet it. He repeated the process, and growled at the strain in his arms as he approached the other side of the cliff. "Guys, a little help?" Rayne asked with a sheepish smile, well aware of the fact that Zelda probably hated the idea of crossing even more, thanks to his dizzy spell.
((With my nature, that just had to happen.))

"I'm sorry Midna, force of habit." Coremean had felt a jerk on the rope as he saw Rayne fall. "Ack! Um, Hold on Rayne!" Coremean tied the rope he held onto the nearest tree and proceeded to edge over on the rope to where Rayne was dangling. When he had managed to secure himself tightly to the rope, he extended his hand to Rayne.

After Rayne fell Andarlo proceded to hold on to the rope securing Rayne just in case something else bad happened. "Oh, another dizzy spell. What crappy luck for him." Andarlo saw the princess looking like she had just decided to not do anything but stand there. "Princess! Don't worry, everything will be fine. We'll get you across." Andarlo turned his attention to the still dangling Rayne. "Hey Rayne, you want us to pull you back, or can you get back up?"

"Oh yes, the scared-to-death-of-heights princess isn't worrying!" Zelda snapped. Then she blushed. "Sorry... I'm just a little irritated. And freaked out."
Midna raised an eyebrow as she floated down to Rayne. "Does this sort of thing happen to you a lot? Or do you just have really bad timing?"
