"Last night?" She thought about it hard... then realized he was referring to earlier in the day, from the hut. Poor man thought a whole night had passed while on the powerful stuff. She could have corrected him... but she was trying her best not to be unnerved. The herbs were unfortunately wearing off...
"Yes, well, I'm sure you saw quite a lot." She huffed. "You practically SHOVED that dreaded pipe down my throat, I didn't have much of a choice... though I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a little." The pirate was laughing out loud now. Else didn't understand. Else thought long and hard...sure what she said SOUNDED like an innuendo... but it was the truth.
She saw the image of him above her again. His breathing and hers intermingled in her ears, his hands exploring her... and yet when she awoke, she was fully clothed in her laced up and over complex leather outfit... But if he had touched her, and she didn't even KNOW it....
The rage started to boil in her. She didn't even know if what had happened 'last night' was a dream or not... either way, it was wrong. But nothing came of it, so no harm done.... so why was she so upset?
Else narrowed her eyes at him. "Well, it seems I can't really remember much about 'last night', Captain Jones." She said curtly. "So it must have not been that memorable at all." She walked quicker to catch up with Celeste.

“we are going to the mountains” she pointed to them in the distance. “its not another mirror, its a music box...” she told them.

He winked at Else,"Well Love, I'll have to try harder next time"
The captain followed Celeste's finger to the mountains and frowned. He'd almost rather they went through the swamp again- at least he'd be a bit more familiar with the terrain in a swamp. He glanced at the horizon, his perception of time was still a bit off kilter
"Does anything jump out of this music box we should know of?"

Else HATED it when he had the last word. And when it was lewd. She looked away, out into the mountains as well.
"SOUNDS harmless..." Else murmured. "... Then again... so did a mirror..." She sighed. "What I wouldn't give for an Ogre to give us a ride over." She said, examining the long journey ahead of them. That comment elicited a look from both Hook and Celeste. "What? Neither of you have been carried on the shoulders of an Ogre before? Shocking... especially in YOUR case, Captain Jones: Something you HAVEN'T ridden..." She marched forward. "Well, let's not dawdle."

“ahhh well... no, not exactly... it is enchanted though, it just makes music...” she said a little uncomfortably, she didn't lie, if did make music, she was hoping it was not opened, if it was... the she would clue them in more.
she laughed at else, that was funny.
“riding on an oger, yes lets just add to our troubles” she grinned and then pictured it. “man those are fugly....”
once they finally made it to the bottom of the mountains she looked up, there was a small path to follow... she looked at her map, they seemed to be getting close, she turned to the others.
“looks like we are going some hiking” she told them and then started up the rocky path up the mountain, there was a very large waterfall that fall down the middle of the mountains, it was so but they could feel the water spray from it.

Else stretched her back from the long walk to the mountains. She glanced up at the rocky "path" that they had to climb up. "Wonderful." She breathed, but she wasted no time in starting. She hoped that they could get to the music box before sundown.

something you haven't ridden
Hook made a face, then marched up the hill and made his way towards Celeste. He sneaked s look over her shoulder at the map- much to her disgust,"Easy Love, if I wanted to see more than the map I'd be far more forward"
It looked like they needed to go into the waterfall, he looked over to the distant waterfall. It'd be a long hike wouldn't it? He sighed and stretched and took the lead,"Let me know if either of you get tired, I don't mind carrying lovely lasses through the wilderness..."

Else rolled her eyes. And now he was hitting on the ENCHANTRESS as well. This should be rich.
She silently made her way up the path, grabbing onto small trees and rocks when it became too steep. If she could scale the Cannibal Sorcerer's rocky cliffs, this should be no problem at all. The roar of the waterfall made it harder for her to hear the other two as they got closer to it.

Celeste slowly looked up from her map and looked at Hook for what he had just said, she didn't say anything but the look on her face said it all, it was a head hike but it was easy enough for her to do, she actually like climbing mountains it reminded her of when she went hiking with her family... she looked down to her map, the dot seemed to be close but not exactly where they were, she looked to the waterfall... she got a bad feeling... maybe the music box was in the waterfall... she had her that there was a cave somewhere behind it... the entrance to the heat of neverland... Hook seemed to have the same idea that they were heading to the waterfall, she let him take the lead.
“i don't get easily tired, it would probably be me carrying you through the wilderness before you will be carrying me!” she called to Hook.
they got to as close to the waterfall as they could get... before them was now a shear drop.... the mountain side to the waterfall had only a 2 foot path to follow, not that it actually looked much like a path at all... there was nothing to grab on to other than the side of the mountain and if you fell you were done for... but it was the only way to get there, and it was still a ways to travel across to the waterfall.
Celeste got to the edge and looked across, not knowing really what to do from here, she had to cross it, she could herself but what about the others? it was... very dangerous.... why can't things be easy for once?
“well this... sucks donkey balls....” she said annoyed and looked up into the sky the spray from the waterfall hitting her face, she wiped it off.

Else peered off of the edge and then at the slim ledge, to which Celeste was cursing at. The mountain's surface was smooth there, nothing to cling to. One would need excellent balance... and courage... to cross it. Else's legs were a little exhausted, from a combination of the hike and lack of sleep because of nightmares, but she had plenty of determination to do it.
She didn't exactly care for extreme heights... but she kept finding herself thrust into situations like this; things outside of her comfort zone. She squared her shoulders and set her jaw. "We can do it..." She said, more for herself than for the other two.

Hook froze at the sight of the sheer drop and swallowed, he looked over at Else- she definitely wasn't comfortable but the lass was determined. Celeste swore a bit more but she was not terribly deterred either.
He took a breath and started down the ledge," It's not so-" He slipped a little and cussed before narrowly regaining his balance," I-It's not so bad.... bit slippery though"

“get your butt back here Hook!” she yelled and pulled him off the edge back on land.
men! so stupid, not even waiting to try and think up percussions... she started rummaging through her bag to see if she could find rope or something.
“look you idiot we should try to do this safely, not just go all out and just cross! it IS slippery and it will just get worse the closer we get to the waterfall, i will go first, we will tie a rope around ourselves and you will connect yours to mine, that way if one falls i will pull you up, i can actually dig into the mountain to hang on so thats why i will do this and go first.” she told them her plain and then threw the rope she found to them and started to tie it around herself.
“tie this around your waist, do it good you don't want it to come undone!?” she yelled at them over the waterfall sounds.

Else's heart felt like it jumped up into her throat when the pirate almost slipped. But he regained footing. She finally allowed herself to breathe again.
But she wasn't taking any chances. She sat on the ground, unlacing her boots, tied the laces together, and slung them over a shoulder. She would rather have the extra weight on top then depend on them to keep her from falling given how little traction they provided on slick surfaces.
After tying the lifeline around her waist, she inched her way on to the ledge, facing towards the rock wall. She softly slid her feet against the rock and damp moss, feeling out safe places to anchor herself as she moved along, following Hook.

He shot Celeste a look, but agreed to tie the rope to his waist- after having nearly fallen to his death. Hook smiled as Else approach, partly because he liked to have her by him more than Celeste, but partly because he knew there was no way they could pass through the waterfall dry and he'd get front row seats when her blouse was drenched.
The Captain waited for her to get close to him before he continued down the way....

Celeste lead the way to the waterfall, her fingers changed into claw like spikes and firmly in the side of the mountain to keep her in in place till she moved, everything was getting wetter and more slippery as they moved their way along the thin ledge, it was beginning to get so noisy she could hardly hear herself think, she had never actually done something like this before, and she had done a lot.... a few small rocked fell from somewhere up top and it them, they were too small to do anything other then make everyone look up, Celesets eyes widened in shock as she saw larger rocks were falling their way.
“look out! rocks are falling,try to stay clear of them!” she yelled to the others, digging her claws deeper into the mountain wall and getting as close to it as she could.
she moved her body to the right just before a rock the size of her head hit her.
