Description
‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ The gym employee asked, careful to keep his tone neutral.
He wanted to add more, but she could tell he was biting his tongue as to not say something she would be offended by. The other gyms had not been so professional.
‘Maybe you would like to try the boldering wall first.’
‘This is a very physically intense sport.’
One had even openly asked her if she had a prosthetic she intended to use.
Narrowing her eye she turned to face the employee, fixing him with the full intensity of her gaze.
‘Yes, I am quite certain.’ She retorted, matching his same even tone. ‘Now, if you would walk me through how the harness works?’

That would be an all to appropriate nickname. Infact, I believe that that this shall be her nickname from now on.

Looking behind her as you approach, her one good eye going wide, before recognizing you. 'Indy!' She sprints across the rubber chips and wraps her arms around you.

After giving you a pleasant squeeze, Jay tilts her head back to better look up at you.
'I didn't know you climbed?' She beams up at you. 'Or are you here for the class?'

With a lingering suspicion, Jay let's you hug her back to your body, resting her cheek again you. 'You didn't join this class just because I was decided to attend did you?'
Before you can answer though, a female instructor calls out.
'Everyone for beginning rock climbing over here!'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh I guess that's my cue.... and no, I didn't have a slightest clue that you were here. I guess we should begin
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'Right.' Jay flashes a a smile with her good eye and then playfully bumps you with her hip before following you over to the growing knot of other would be rock climbers.
The instructors, standing before the climbing wall look around before making introductions.
'Hello, my name is Annah, and this is my partner Jason, and welcome to beginning rock climbing.' Her eyes scan the room, and linger for a second on Jay, before recovering and pushing on. 'So the goal of this class is to teach you basic rope techniques and later we will be climbing...'
Beside you, Jay pushes herself against you, clearly made uneasy by the lingering stairs of the students around the group.

Letting out a long slow breath, Jay does seem to calm a bit. Her shoulders slump as she risks a look up at you with her good eye.
The instructors meanwhile, not breaking their pace continue to cover the safety aspects and the importance of not getting hurt at the gym. Though unintended, this seems to only draw more lingering gazes. And some of the students even start staring openly at Jay, who, has pressed herself so hard to your leg, if she were any bigger she would knock you down.

*i still held on to her, then i gave an unnerving glare at each student to make them look the other way*

Slowly, the students who's eyes have been lingering move back to the teachers. Though the damage is already done. Pressed against your leg you can feel the shift in Jay's weight and a quick glance down reveals her looking at the exit as she slowly begins to pull away.

*i stopped her and whispered* don't leave, they just don't understand. you are fine by me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Though she does her best to hide it, a thin rim of moisture touches her eye.
'Fine?' She mouths, no longer smiling and not listening to the teacher's lesson, who have each taken up a rope and began demonstrating a figure eight pattern. 'I, I shouldn't have come here.'

oh? hold out your hand for me real quick
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hesitantly, Jay begins to raise her one good hand, stops, and then after a quick glance up at you holds it palm up out to you.

*puts my hand on my head and pulled my head off with a "pop" sound and placed it in her hand* there, feel better about yourself?

Jay's eye goes wide and for a fumbling moment she nearly drops your departed head. Mouth working in a frantic attempts to form words, she staggers forward giving your body head back, or at least attempting to as best she can.
Thankfully the bulk of the class seems to be intent on watching the teachers work and not the ensuing show going on in the outer circle.

easy now, i may be immortal, but i can still feel pain. *i grasped my head and i placed it back on my shoulders* i died when i was 18 as you can see

Mouth still working, Jay struggles to form coherent words, finally managing a whispered. 'H-h- how?'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
long story, maybe after our class is over ill get into details

Her hand going up to touch the patch of scar tissue where her eye once was, Jay's gaze lingers on your own.
'You two are paying attention, yes?' One of the teachers calls out, passing you each a length of rope as she walks by.
Jay, fumbling with hers seems not to notice, her gaze locked on your neck as though to try and see the scar there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes we are! *started making my rope, then i lend a hand for Jay* trust me, you can keep staring all day, but you'll only just crease marks when my neck is bent

Head nodding, Jay turns her attention back to the rope at hand. A difficult process as it really does require two hands to do so. Leaving her to fumble with the coil as she tries to replicate the bubble looped figure eight.
'You'll have to do some explaining later.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know I will later *I finished with my rope for now*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Looking at your finished figure eight knot, double looped, and in fine condition Jay's ears do a little downward flick as she pulls on the end of her rope. Securing the bulk of the knot under her arm to prevent it from slipping she wrestles to get the end to slip through. And after several seconds of struggling, she yanks the cord hard and raises...
A knot that looks nothing like your own. Loose coils and with several twists that throw off the figure eight that it should be.
Frowning, Jay looks at her creation and begins wrestling with the knot trying to undo her mistake.
'Alright, let's see what you have!' Calls the instruction who unfortunately has his back to Jay, unaware of her predicament.

*I swiped Jay's rope with mine, helping her out to move on, then I put my finger to my lips* dang it, I thought I had it right.... *referring to Jay's work acting it was mine*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jay's eye flares open in shock, her mouth open to protest - but stops at a quick glance at you. Averting her gaze as they linger on the now correctly formed knot in her hands. The instructor, looking at what he assumes is Jay's work, nods, then moves on to you.
'Ah, good try. Let me see you do it one more time. Like this.'
And pulling out a cold of rope he begins a quick personal demonstration.

Alrighty *pays attention acting like I'm learning then gazed at Jay and gave a quick wink at her as in "trust me" then turn back to the instructor*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'Now you try it.' The instructor smiles, indicating the rope un your hand. 'I want to make sure you have this down pat.'
Jay meanwhile watches on, her hand closed tightly over the correctly tied knot you gave her. A roiling sea of emotions boiling just below the surface.
She knew how to tie the knot, she had paid close attention to the process too. Her good eye shifted to the stump of her arm.
If I had two hands, she thought bitterly.

*I began to re-do my "mistake" as the instructor showed me. I purposely took my time and then finished* how's this?

'Much better, now you've got the hang of it.' Smiling she claps you on the shoulder before walking off to inspect the next knot. Jay meanwhile, looks at you in silence, a mixture of concern and guilt playing over the unscared half of her face.
'Why did you do that?' She whispers the second the instructor is out of ear shot. 'I could have done it.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I know, but what concerns me was how face we had to work on this. Time pressure is not fun during these types of situations.....anyways, I'm sure you get the hang of it on your free time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shooting you a dubious look, Jay holds up her stump of an arm and mangled hand. As thought to silently argue her disbelief in being able to tie such a knot effectively, or with any ease.
'It must be nice to have all your limbs intact.' She adds with a touch of scorn in her voice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've seen videos of those with only an arm who can tie ropes, maybe after class I'll show you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Arching her good brow, Jay gives you a less reproachful look, almost hopeful in some regards.
'Maybe.' She echoes, trying to figure out the how aspects, but before she can ask more the instructor claps her hands to get everyone's attention.
'All right, we are moving on to the wall and wall signs.
If you would all step over here please.'

*I got up and lined up with Jay by the wall*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'Alright, now as before you climb, you need to know how to communicate with each other. When you are ready to climb, you say 'Balay on.' And you, if you are holding the rope would respond with On Balay to let your partner know you are ready for them to climb.'
'Also, you need to know how to take in slack, so if your partner falls, then they won't drop that far. Now, you keep tension on the rope like this.'
And taking the rope in two hands, she demonstrates by sliding one arm down while the other takes up the slack, feeding it through.
'The key is to keep tension on the rope at all time. Okay, everyone ready?'
Jay, looks over at you. 'You want to go first?' She indicates the wall with the stump of her arm.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
might as well, I don't know if you can hold my weight *gestures my size* Balay on.....Balay on.... *whispers to myself, memorizing the words* Balay on.....ready to climb.... On Balay……. for partner to climb next..... *messed with my rope about slacking, trying to memorize about sliding the rope down in one arm*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ears flattening against her head, Jay plants her hand on her hip, her good foot thumping in irritation. 'So you are saying that I could not arrest your fall, if you came off the climbing wall?' Leering up at you with her one eye, she points. 'Start climbing mister.' As she takes up the rope and holds it out to you to tie yourself in with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I weigh about good 200 pounds (I dont know kgs well, sorry) but ok *I gathered what I need and began to climb*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Still a little miffed about the comment in her size verses her strength, Jay clears her throat. 'Before you get too far there - aren't you forgetting something?'
Her one good eye, still carrying with it some heat as she gestures with her one good hand to your harness.
'You really should have your partner,' she strains the word, 'double check your work.'
The reminder that she could not even tie the basic double figure eight knot riding her as well.
'Just to make sure and all.' This time the anger bleeding out of her voice is replaced with genuine concern. 'No accidents, okay?'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hear you.... *I walked back to Jay and began with the rope* ladies first
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'The last thing I need is for you to fall and break something.' She mutters, doing her best to try and sound unconcerned. 'Now let me see your work.'
And going over each knot carefully, she tugs at your harness as well. Little fingers lingering there for just a second, before a flush creeps over her face, and she withdraws.
'It looks like you knew what you were doing after all.' She adds, quickly looking away. 'Now if you are ready, you know the terms: Balay on, On Balay, and all that.'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bailey on is leading, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'Right.' And having the rope in her good hand, she takes in the slack, coiling it and stuffing it under her other arm. 'Once you start climbing.'
And do be careful. She silently added.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alright, Baley on. *I began climbing to the certain point before signaling to Jay*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
'On Baley.' Jay replies, taking in the slack while you start to climb up.
Doing her best, she pulls the rope taught, coils it, and shuffles it under her right arm to keep it in place. From around the room, other students begin their accents, their parents taking in and discarding the slack with ease. One or two sets of eyes linger on Jay, but quickly look away as they notice her gaze is upon them.
'How can she even belay probably with just one arm?'
'I feel sorry for her parent if he falls.'
Face burning, Jay snapped her head back around, and began taking in the slack with a renewed fury.
