[ Couldn't have phrased it better. 13 doesn't think twice. He turns on his heels to crouch in Aiden's direction, and then leans over to offer a hand. ]
Here.
[ The second it's accepted, he'll curl his fingers around Aiden's wrist and pull. Aiden's weight shouldn't be much of an issue. ]
[ Well, he'll reach his hand out as quickly and carefully as possible. He's a little surprised at 13 grabbing his wrist rather than his hand, though. ]
[ The wrist is a far less painful choice for the one being pulled. Once Aiden's up and secure on the tiny opening at the top of the wall, 13 rises from his stooped position to give them both room – not that he's going to be here for very long. ]
You're welcome. Be careful coming down.
[ Apparently those cautionary words don't apply to himself, because 13 hops off and lands on both feet in a crouch. He straightens again and looks up, watching Aiden. ]
Aiden is especially not okay with this plan. Just jumping from such a high place is not a good plan for getting down from it. Nope. 13 might be weirdly superhuman but Aiden certainly is not. He is a tiny normal kid. Sob. So he's going to watch him in awe before ... stopping himself from yelling down at him. He almost does it, before realizing they're supposed to be stealthily breaking in here. Guuuh.
So it's more of a lowkey yell-whisper. ]
Wh-What are you doing?! H-How am I supposed to follow that?!
[ Right, Aiden's not so adventurous, and his body probably can't take that level of impact without pain. 13 takes a few steps to the side, leading Aiden's attention to the patches of grass lined against the wall.
It's unwise to speak at all in enemy territory, but communicating himself is much faster and more efficient with someone that was never part of his team. ]
If you're jumping, try the grass. Otherwise, you can climb down how you climbed up.
[ Hhhh, he's not even sure if he can handle landing in the grass. So, with a huff, he's going to carefully maneuver himself so that he can climb down, though he'll climb down directly above where the grass is ... just in case he falls.
Which, about halfway down, he will. Luckily, the drop isn't so steep once he's halfway down, so it won't matter much, but his fall into the grass won't be particularly graceful. ]
[ And he says that with no trace of sarcasm. Aiden did his best, didn't he? But he doesn't stay on that subject for long.
Hidden behind a strategically placed tree and some bushes around it, 13 leans out to watch their currently emptying surroundings. Let's see – he should probably go that way. ]
[ ... Ah. 13 wants to leave him alone already? Aiden is ... not entirely sure he can make it on his own this early into their breaking in. 13 saw how horribly he scaled that wall — now imagine him trying to sneak around and not get caught by the many people who would be able to overpower him within seconds. Um. That would go even worse than the wall. ]
... So soon? [ Agh, that makes him feel pathetic to ask like that though. Ahhh. ] I mean, we're barely inside, and we could stick together a little longer ...
[ Please don't leave him already he'll have a panic attack. ]
I said I was going to take you inside. What you do doesn't concern me.
[ He doesn't say that callously, but in the factual sense that what he and Aiden are respectively after more than likely has nothing to do with each other. Although he can sense that Aiden seems hesitant about splitting "so soon," and that halts 13 in his tracks for the moment. ]
Y-Yeah, but — maybe we both have to go in the same direction! Then it'd be weird for us to split up, right?
[ To tell the truth, he never really had enough time to get a feel for this place while he was here the first time anyway. So he's nooot entirely sure if he knows what direction he should be going, so. Yep. Please just let him stick with you. ]
With Aiden being so insistent, 13 doesn't care to argue. He cocks his head before stepping aside to give Aiden a larger view of the base surrounding them. Indeed, it's be weird to split up, only to walk the same path. ]
Um, about that ... [ Alright, so he really has no way of covering up that he doesn't know which way to go. And if he randomly picks the wrong direction and 13 doesn't go with him, then that's a problem. And he can't risk it. SO. ]
I guess I'm ... not really sure ...
[ Does he seem embarrassed and awkward? Because he is. ]
[ 13 turns while he continues to watch Aiden. Then he straightens his neck back to indicate that his destination is the nearest building ahead, where patrol appears to be nigh nonexistent. ]
You can come with me, but I can't carry you the whole time. We'll separate once you're more certain of your route.
[ He doesn't ask what Aiden's exact business is, figuring that the boy should decide his path for himself. 13 stays close to the wall as he begins heading toward his destination. ]

finally . . . responds to this, too . . .
Here.
[ The second it's accepted, he'll curl his fingers around Aiden's wrist and pull. Aiden's weight shouldn't be much of an issue. ]
eats you
Um, th-thanks.
[ To get that out of the way.
Then he'll let 13 do his thing. ]
if you eat me, i can't respond anymore!
You're welcome. Be careful coming down.

jae hates me ;-;

HAHA I FORGOT TO WRITE A SUBJECT

. . . Is this where we part ways?
or was it on purpose because you hATE ME
... So soon? [ Agh, that makes him feel pathetic to ask like that though. Ahhh. ] I mean, we're barely inside, and we could stick together a little longer ...
[ Please don't leave him already he'll have a panic attack. ]
yes. yes, it was. you caught me

i knew it ;A;

Which way are you going?
o///^///o
Um, about that ... [ Alright, so he really has no way of covering up that he doesn't know which way to go. And if he randomly picks the wrong direction and 13 doesn't go with him, then that's a problem. And he can't risk it. SO. ]
