[Sunny’s gaze snapped from the suspended city to Basil, eye widening.
Could he make it up? With Basil’s help? Someplace that high…?
Sunny had faced his fear of heights in his dreams… but not here. Would that make a difference? Already, he could feel his hands tremble slightly. But… they didn’t really have a choice, did they? The longer they waited, the less likely it would be that Sunny could do anything at all.
The temptation was there - to just lie down and hope he could find some solace in his dreams. Did the dead dream? Or was that comfort allusive even here?
But Basil was trying. Basil was trying, even though Sunny had failed them both.
His nod was small, but… Sunny could try too. So long as Basil would make it up to the city with him. Did he want that? Or did he want a cliff’s worth of space between them?]
