Coatleque stopped her ascent once more at the quip over her apparently massive thighs and closed her eyes. Her forehead rested momentarily against the cold steel of the gauntlet that gripped the ladder just in front of her before she looked down to Evangeline who had also stopped below. She had no more words, no logical objection or witty retort. She only scowled disapprovingly.
Suddenly an incendiary was being lobbed in her direction.
"What? Wait!..." was all she managed to cry out before the flare was almost face-level. The toss was slightly wide, however, and she had to let go of the ladder with one hand and swing out from the wall to reach it. There was a ping as her gauntlet smacked against it, followed by a crack as the flare hit the opposite wall.
Coatleque cursed as she clamored back to the ladder. Another metallic groan echoed around them as the hinges protested the sudden shift in weight. A second later a clatter was heard below as the flare presumably landed on the top of the lift.
"What are ye doing!?" She cried, heart pounding at having nearly fell. "Ye cannae just hurl things at me like tha!"
