Here came the fun part. How come he never got to warp like Noct?

Tying the rope around himself, he took a deep breath and started the precarious climb up. He was fortunate that he'd been a runner because he was actually in pretty decent shape. Still, it was a steep cliff and he was already tired and sore from the day.

He walked up the cliff wall cautiously, tight grip on the rope as he slowly inched his way up it. It looked like a long way to go. He kept moving steadily until some loose dirt slid out from underneath his shoes. The soles of his shoes lost their grip against the wall and his feet flew off it with a yelp, only holding on with his hands.

He swung for a moment as he gathered his bearings. For a second he glanced down, seeing that he was about halfway.

"This isn't doing much for my acrophobia," he whined, carefully getting his feet back up to climb the rest of the way.
