SYRONO

Chapter Sixteen - Resource Compression

Syr - "You don't seem so-"

Nyr - "Eeeh..! We really should get going!"

Grabbing Syr's hand she rushes them to the cliff edge, fishing something from her pouch on the way.

Syr - "Oh for crying out loud..! I'm supposed to be in charge here!"

Nyr - "Only in bed~!"

Syr - "E-Eh?!"

Nyr - "We'll get back a lot faster if we use this..!"

She's unpacked the portable glider, set up to take off from the ledge.

Syr - "B-But you only have the one..!"

Nyr - "Ehh we can both take it!"

Syr - "What?!"

Nyr - "It's designed to be able to carry people up to like 5 times my weight, so it should be fine! Just hold on tight!"

Syr - "Do you have a death wish?! No way! No offense, but I don't trust your one arm's worth of strength to carry both of us, I don't think you could even steer it..!"

Nyr - "Offense taken! I will not be discriminated against as a recently-!"

Nyr - "-Hey!!"

Syr - "You can't even stop me taking it from you.."

Nyr - "Ughhh..! You don't even know how to use it!"

Syr - "I'll manage.."

Nyr - "How am I supposed to hold onto you like this!?"

She waves her stump of a limb around to emphasise her inability to grasp non-uniform shapes.

Syr - "You could still manage a piggy-back ride.. Probably.."

Nyr - "Do you want me to die?!"

Syr - "Finee, you've got a rope don't you?"

Nyr - "Ah- I suppose.."

Syr - "Well hand it here, I'll tie you to me just in case."

Nyr - "Wehh..?!"

Syr - "You got any better ideas?"

Nyr - "Beh.."

With tensions still high, the act of tightly strapping one to the other leads to quite the fluster, though they manage it in the end.

Syr - "Alright now hold on..!"

Nyr - "Hhhh.."

Grumbling, she latches her limbs around the unqualified pilot.

Nyr - "Don't look down..!"

Comforting words as they meander over the edge, Syr failing to heed the advice.

Syr - "E-EYehhh!"

Nyr - "Who's afraid of heights now, eheheh~!"

Syr - "Shut it, pipsqueak!"

Nyr - "E-Eee..!"

Nyr - "Ooh I got an idea!"

Syr - "Now?!"

A small panic ensues as Nyr releases her good arm around her, quickly then retrieving her card.

Syr - "W-Wah?!? Don't let-!"

Nyr - "-Heyy, we're in a big hurry now what with the whole, y'know. So it'd be great if you could get goin' and meet us halfway..!"
