[Ion's shaking like a leaf by the time Sheba calls up to them. He had been so afraid that he would fall when the cable began to twist and jump underneath their holds, and he couldn't help but feel guilty seeing how much trouble it had caused them when he had freed himself.
If Sheba had fallen...
But she didn't fall. And he couldn't afford to think about that right now. Ion takes a deep breath, and begins to shimmy down the cable as the others have before him--if considerably slower as he tries to avoid the slick patches and keep himself from losing his grip and slipping entirely.]
I'll try to be quick!
[His tone is apologetic--he doesn't want to hold up Luke or anyone else. Eventually, he makes it down to where the door has been opened, and shifts his body to face it.
From here, the gap between himself and the door seems to go on for miles. Ion's heart is hammering painfully and erratically as he swings to get a bit more momentum, then jumps--
--and almost doesn't make it. His torso hits the edge and he scrambles in a panic with his arms to claw up into the opening. Fortunately, Sheba and Xion are both quick to grab him by his sleeves and pull him in the rest of the way.]
Thank you--I'm sorry...
[Feeling like he's made of jelly, Ion crawls on all fours until he has enough space in the door to wobble to his feet.]
