"Pretty far," which sounds a lot like I don't actually know, though at least Bruce has the decency to sound passingly sheepish - it's hard to tell if it's genuine, given his... given himself, but it's true they don't have a map or detailed instructions. That much, Seoraj knew before they set out. "Hopefully we'll end up going in a direction no one's living in."
Yeah, that's likely.
Bruce explains where they'll need to go, exactly how far down everything is - Seoraj will have to shimmy down first, so Bruce can pull the rope down with him as he goes after. It'll probably take them fifteen minutes to get down to the cliff shelf they can use to camp in, so all in all, not bad.
And then he waits; sitting back, looking up.
Even though the sky is only a deep blue, not quite pitch-black with total sundown, the sky is shining with unfamiliar stars, not even grazed with anything close to light pollution.
