"Come on! This was your idea, right?" Keri asked Lizy, calling down from the top of the liquid stairs that Hydie had constructed.
"This was only partially my idea! I never planned on going near the water!" Lizy said, feeling her temperature rising with her frustration.
"I will make sure that you don't get wet or fall off," Hydie said as she walked over to stand at the bottom of the stairs with Lizy.
Initially, Lizy wanted to say something rude, but after taking a deep breath, the spider woman decided against it. Getting angry wasn't going to help her, but she also didn't want to admit that she was scared out loud.
"Did you know I don't like heights? I absolutely hate admitting to such a thing, but it is true," Jilly said as she walked over to join Hydie and the spider woman.
Lizy had been concentrating on the steps, trying to get her confidence up. The sound of Jilly's voice snapped out of the trance-like state.
