"Don't worry yourself. No-one would expect you to climb like that." Eriex smirked, shaking his head. "You will be going to see our leader, there he'll decide what is to be done with you." 
Already Mel began to wonder whether this was a good idea. She could only hope they would give him fair chance to speak, he didn't seem much like the other Drow she had encountered. Those had been savage, more willing to fight than to talk, perhaps if their leader was willing to talk with this strange newcomer, it could be the beginning of mending the differences between their two tribes.
