[It wasn't that he couldn't catch it. He didn't spare even the slightest effort to catch that keepsake. The lazy man figured it would just be easier to pick it up as he walked forward. Duh.

While Takasugi refuses to settle on 'as usual' - Gintoki is stuck on that front. Averting his eyes from the clear divide between them and simply walking along its ledge. If he didn't cling to a sense of normalcy - this entire scenario would crumble faster than anything in this god forsaken--- AGH.

The crash nearly causes Gintoki to jump out of his boot. His eyes are wide as he stares in the direction of the crash before sniffing the air. He attempts to fix his posture, though hsi nerves are positively vibrating under his skin.

Which makes the other's heavy hand all the more sickening. Gintoki grimaces, glancing over at the other before looking forward and taking the first step.]

Like hell. Remember, you got great night vision or somethin. Ain't that what you were just sayin'? So c'mon-

[Stay in step, damn it!]

[Gintoki's glance goes unanswered; Takasugi's view is fixed on the darkened path ahead. Each step treacherous, if the initial crash had been any indication. The only predictability in its design that it's been made to be unpredictable.

When surprise is inevitable, better just to draw it out rather than slinking in hopes of bypassing trouble.

First heavy footfall treading forward, Takasugi does follow in tow.

Not because Gintoki told him to. But he keeps silent, not interested in pulling any more taut the atmosphere between them.

The only disruption is the slowing of his pace, several strides inside, to pick up a rock and throw it forward, brushing past Gintoki's head to clatter in front of them both.

Cracks spider from underneath it, small chunks of floor crumbling and falling through with only deep black remaining.

Wonder how far that stretches on. It's Gintoki's problem, since he went first.]
