As the pair set out on their own, things seemed more and more rough, collapsed, or collapsing buildings, those massive wires, rubble. But at least none of those creepy birds were around. The way it always layered and hung about, reminded her of ruins from the dark continent in those books her Grand Father had. the fact the birds were gone and these structures seemed to beckon in a manner it was worth investigating. Stopping Onyx with a tug on his sleeve, she points up at one of the more stable strutures that seemed to be a focal point for the wire like objects draped across the zone. Releasing him once she has his attention, she takes a couple steps back.
"Umm.."
Looking at Onyx, then the structure up above, Alice frowns. This terrain was fairly rough, and while her feet and legs were better suited to the rough ground, enough so she had no pains walking across it, this was another issue. Much like a chicken or the average person, sudden shifting ground, round objects or general finesse in movement would be a death sentence for her. Just like the last time she was here.. There was no point lying to the man, though she didn't know him all that well, it would be better than him thinking it all would be fine and sending her ahead.
"..my limbs aren't all that dexterous. The last time I went up ruins like these, I got to see my body from my eyes as they grew apart after a huge piece of rubble took my head as I couldn't dodge fast enough. Unless we find a Machine shop and you can improve this design, it would be best if you go up first.. I.. Don't like using you to test if it's safe enough for me..."
Holding her left arm at the side by her right, her frown remains in place as she motions with her head. "If we can get up there we can see all around, I'll be right behind you watching for safe places to grab, but if I go first, I only see it ending badly.. And while you would be fine for then, there is no telling what is here with us. So if we do this, please be careful.. I think it's worth going up there, if only so we can see the rest of this place, and maybe the others. Once we get up there we can see how stable the rest looks.."
Laying out her reasoning, the Machine Girl had no idea if he would agree to her request or not... In fact it was highly dangerous, but there was conventional wisdom in finding a higher vantage point.
