Before long, they reached the center part of the hallway. Moonlight came in from the place's see-through ceiling, making it possible for even a human to see without the aid of that portable tortch. Scar cast a glance over the railing as he passed, noticing the Sun room to be completely silent. That was...odd, wasn't it? The Sun room was usually guarded, and more often than not a battle was raging on in there.

Perhaps the head doctor had focused his little pets elsewhere, considering certain pieces of information the boy had so kindly shared with him. Well, if the institute's biggest threats were stationed elsewhere, it was all the better for him, wasn't it? Nonetheless, he was not about to lower his guard.

He was ready for the drop this time, but that didn't make it much easier to get down the gravelly slope that waited for them inside the door. Sure, Scott was able to better control his descent and not get horribly scraped and cut this time (always a good thing), but he still went down way faster than he would have liked. He did almost start tumbling head over heels a couple of times, too, despite his efforts to keep moving feet-first. Thankfully, the slope evened out eventually, as it had the night before, and soon the trio were at the cliff's edge once again.

"I call 'not it' for jumping first," said Scott, peering out over the ledge. Being up here and knowing he would actually feel the impact and the cold down below this time? Liiiiitle more apprehension than before.
