You walk forward a few steps, leaning against the open doorway as Cross starts taking steps off of the pyramid- looking straight ahead at you.
POLKA DOT: Oh, so you're coming to take me out?
CROSSBONE: Mmmmhm.
Her chain tail jangles as it falls behind her, making a loud noise as she hops down each giant step.
POLKA DOT: Even after you saw what I did to that dummy earlier?
CROSSBONE: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmhm.
POLKA DOT: You gotta be real confident, then!
CROSSBONE: I've got some tricks up my sleeve.
She reaches the base of the pyramid- just a few feet between the two of you, facing off.
No one moves, the tension palpable- and you get the feeling it's not just fighting nerves.
In the quadrant to your right, Tim seems... conflicted. Devo's not moving, waiting for him to approach-
He grips his sword, having a hard time figuring out where to go. He could go after Cross, he could back you up, or-
Devo's still standing there, pacing on the bridge and giving him a knowing look.
Tim takes a step forward, and then another.
