It took a while for Peiter to calm down enough to actually will himself to stand up, and he was still nervous even once he did. At the very least, the platforms and walkways did have ropes strung along the sides to serve as guard railings. For Peiter, it was a small comfort, but it was at least enough to make him willing to move. He made his way over to Sabine, who had already figured out the platform and was getting ready to bring up the first passenger. 

"After all that effort...we're definitely doing swords first. Let's just, uh, make sure to hold the session down there. Not up here. You know, it's safer that way." Peiter answered. He was still breathing heavily from the exertion of climbing, and wiped some sweat from his brow. "I had hoped it would be cooler up here. I...have no idea why I thought that. I can't imagine a place other than Oblivion itself being hotter than this."

Kaleeth was quick to start the climb up the ropes, while Ahnasha stayed down with Rhazii to make sure he didn't get any ideas about trying to follow. Lorag, while he would have preferred to climb, knew that it would be best not to try it in the steel armor he was wearing, so he could wait on the lift. Meesei also decided to wait in order to stay with Leaps and make sure he stayed secure on the lift once it was his turn. 

Irenya let out a sigh when Gallus stopped her. She knew well what this was about. "Is this really necessary...alpha?" She whispered.
