He'd thought she was being playful when she said don't fall, but he did find himself having to pay more attention to his feet the higher he climbed. He had to wonder if she'd considered how precarious this was when she'd invited him up here; she was as sure-footed as ever. In terms of privacy this would have been the perfect place to make a move, but up until the final platform he wasn't sure there was enough room to do anything without risking falling.

The platform wasn't large, either, which meant when he stepped on it was natural to stand a little too close to her. He reached out, toying briefly with the idea of putting his hand on her waist before he placed it instead on the railing just to her side. He put his other hand out to the other railing, so that she was framed in his arms despite the fact that he hadn't touched her.

"Literal magic?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her almost like a challenge. "I've been wondering how you accomplished that hat trick."
