[Alicia likes Maya, she really does. But her blood runs cold when she hears the sound of Maya pulling herself the rest of the way up onto the balcony, and there's a faint creak even she barely catches.]

Maya, ah... I'm glad you came up to check on me, truly. But-

[-no, she can't let anything happen. This isn't the time to keep up appearances. She takes a deep breath, working to banish her pain for a moment.]

Please, head back down. I don't want you to get hurt, and I don't trust this balcony to hold up forever. Here, I'm coming- gah!

[The sound escapes her as she takes a wide, purposeful step toward Maya, looking to rush her back down the ladder. Clearly she isn't as okay as she's pretending to be, arm returning to just above her waist. If the worst occurs, she at least knows how to land well, and could probably grab onto something if she had to, though not for long. Maya, though... Maya isn't trained in any of those things. She'd just fall, and the thought makes her even more uncomfortable than she would have expected.]

L-leave me... I'll be fine, I'll be down soon. Hurry-!

[She can't do much to protect that smile at the moment, as another, more pronounced creak makes itself known. But if she can get Maya back to the ground safely, that'll be a good start.]
