"Way to much fun, huh? I used to do a lot of climbing back when I was a... erm..." He blinked a couple times, "Ah! Back at my other job." He said climbing up a bit farther slowly leading the way towards the window he'd pointed out, "Your only the second student I have ever taken clibing too, not many climbers brave enough to scale a building."

Nibal blinked at Orpheus, wondering what the man had been about to say. But then he mentioned that another kid had done this too. So he wasn't the first one... darn. But at least he was only one of two kids that had done it. "Someone else has sticky fingers and toes like me?" He asked the man. He would so have to meet that kid!

"Nope, you are the first I have seen with sticky toes. He was climbing more for hardiness, to go from the ground level to the roof with only so much water and food. Was a hard climb but a good one. He had some bravery too. It was a good class." The funnest part being spitting off the top of the D-corp roof when they got there...
"We are making good time." He said as the window was getting closer and closer.

"Oh." Well, that was disappointing and exciting all at once. So he was the only one that could do this. That was cool. Then again, it made him weird compared to the other kids. At the mention of water, Nibal realized that he was actually rather thirsty. Not that he'd want to admit it. He wanted to complete this task. So he'd just have to drink a lot of water afterwards. At least his skin didn't feel bad after a short period of time without water like it did when he was little.
"We are?" Nibal's thoughts were interrupted by Orpheus' comment. He glanced up, trying to remember which window had been the one that the man had pointed to. They all looked the same from here. So he'd just have to take the teacher's word for it.

Orpheus paused again to give Nibal time to catch up and to look around, "Yes, mostly I can tell since I counted the number of windows up our goal was before we started out. Best way to do it and we have gone passed a few so far." Easily they had put a few of stories passed them, "How are you feeling? No fear of heights?"

"Oh." Nibal paused as he caught up to rest for a moment and glance about. They were getting fairly high up there, but there was still a lot of building above them. He was rather glad now that they weren't climbing all of the way to the top. "I'm okay. Nope, no fear."

Orpheus nodded, "Thats good. If at any time you don't want to go any higher you can tell me and we will head down." He said, he worried for the students so if he got any amount of fear or dizziness he would bring him down. He paused again waiting for Nibal before he climbed up the last leg of the climb and peeked into the window before ducking back down, "Come Nibal! You can do it. Almost there. Tag the window and you will have passed the class."

Nibal paused in his own slow progress to look up at Orpheus. He didn't have too much farther to go! Excited about that, Nibal took a deep breath and started upwards again. His arms were starting to get tired from the climbing and holding up that bowling ball earlier, so he was very glad now that they weren't climbing to the top. With a sigh of relief, Nibal slapped his hand against the window that Orpheus had deemed the target.
Peri was startled from the file he'd been reading by the loud noise. "Probably another stupid bird flying into the window..." He muttered, glancing up at the window. His eyes flew wide open at the sight of his son outside of his window, grinning happily at something or someone that Peri couldn't see. The man got up and walked over to the window, wondering what in hell that crazy teacher had been teaching his kid.
Nibal caught movement out of the corner of his eye and turned his head. "P'las!!" The boy grinned happily and waved at his father.

It was all that Orpheus could do to keep from laughing histerically, as it was he was laughing pretty hard as he lifted up a little farther to look in the window as well, giving a wave at Peri. Hey, he did have a pretty priceless expression now didn't he? To bad Orpheus didn't have a camera on him, huh?
"Alright, you pass." He told Nibal, smiling as he got his laughter under control. Ok, he could behave really... "Shall we say 'Hello' first before we head down? Or maybe he will let you climb in. Either way is good by me."

Peri stared at the other teacher for a good minute or two. Was the man trying to get back at him for teaching Vorel to freeze things? Hey, at least the dragon wasn't spitting acid or something. Those were some classes that Peri wasn't looking too forward to. The man opened the window up, it was a nice day anyways. "Usually, visitors use the elevators to get to my office..."
"Hi, P'las!" Nibal grinned at his parent. "I learned to stick things to my fingers and toes!" He wiggled his fingers. "I could even pick up a bowling ball and stick it to them!"
Perilas blinked. That... was an interesting skill, to say the least. "You'll have to show me later." He smiled at Nibal grew excited about that. "For now, you'd best get back on the ground..." He could see the harness holding the boy up, but he was still a bit nervous about the fact that his son was hovering in the air several stories above the ground.

"Why use an elevator when its such a nice day? Besides this route is less croweded." Orpheus said, laughing. He had no real malicious intention behind his classes, personal amusment a little bit though on this one... He looked over to Nibal, "We can head back down then now that you got to talk to your Dad."
Water and Nibal's prize for passing the class was down on the ground waiting for the frog child.

Peri had to grin at Orpheus' comment. "True... But a little less convient, don't you think?"
"Okay." Nibal glanced over at the man behind the window. "Bye, P'las!"
"I'll see you after a bit," Peri said, waving to the boy.
With a grin, Nibal started heading back down. Going down would surely be easier than going up, right?

"Maybe a little." He agreed but then again it as a lot of fun to climb things, he didn't risk getting in to much trouble this way either as he was just climbing instead of climbing with intent to steal something. He started down showing Nibal the easy way to slid down the rope if he wasn't want to sticky climb all the way back down.
"There is some stuff waiting for you at the bottom." He told Nibal but didn't tell him what, leaving that a secret.

The frog boy caught onto the way that Orpheus was heading down and found it much easier than trying to sticky climb down and having to pause to let out some rope every now and then. Much, much easier. Well, maybe now that they knew that he could sticky climb rather well, he wouldn't have to worry about ropes. He also wondered if he'd be able to stick to the ceiling in his room. He'd practice that over his bed, just in case...
With the promise of something at the bottom, Nibal went as quickly as he felt safe doing. He hoped water was in that stuff.

Orpheus walked over to the table where the different things were sitting that earlier that Nibal had been sticking too. He dug into a cooler to getting out a couple bottles of water and held one of them out to Nibal, "Water? There are snacks in the cooler too." He then got out a small bag that was sitting next to the cooler and took dumped the contents out into his hand and held it out to Nibal, "This is yours as well."  A silver trinket with some shiny gems in it.
