Meridian reached the top without too much trouble, though his paws hurt like hell from the weight that they had to bear during the trip up. He slowly climbed down and when he got to the ten feet he released his grip from the rope, dropping to the soft padding below and landing on all fours, his feline heritage coming in handy for once in his life. He sighed deeply and stood up again, under the gaze of Azrael who had observed the little trick that the young boy had done. The trick itself was little special, but it did help with the weight, which rested less time on the boys paws.
Azrael looked at the by who had just dropped down, applauding the trick that he had just shown, simple as it might be it seemed to prove effective enough in the child's particular case. "Okay Meri, get up there again, hurry along, we ain't got all day you know." With a nod and a smirk he dotted a line after the boys name, happy that the recruits actuallt could complete at least one trip up.
Meridian, glad with what he had just heard from the normally so straightforward feline smiled and started to climb again, trying to get over with the exercise as fast as he could, though it still hurt with each feet that he gained. The scrapes on his paws where quite clear, and it was quite clear that the child did not like them one bit... but still, he bore them as he was expected to...
Azrael nodded as another boy seemed to be done already, though the time was a tad hard to believe, even if the child was some miracle child send by some unseen force. He couldn't help but frown at the child and scribbled something after his name before nodding to him and speaking softly. "I need to have a word with you after the others have gone to rest, when everybody has completed this exercise that is."
