Chuck grabs onto one of the legs and pulls himself up - armor sharp but not (yet) actually slicing through his gloves or boots.

He's about halfway up the leg when Alistair starts swearing. He freezes for a moment, considering.

Swearing's probably good, right? It means he's not dead yet!

Chuck resumes climbing, as quickly as he can without losing grip. It's not as quick as he'd like.
