"You’re right. I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m just making it up as I go along."

As soon as the words are out of his mouth, Kai feels three pairs of eyes turn to him.

Whoops. He probably shouldn’t have admitted it after all.

Well, no turning back now! He’s the elemental master of fire, unfortunately, not the elemental master of time.

Cole raises an eyebrow, eye twitching ever so slightly. “…you’re joking, right?”

Jay has far less tact, grabbing Kai by the shoulders and shaking him. “Kai, this is a really bad time for jokes, but you better be joking, because so help me if you don’t actually know what you’re doing when you suggested this plan in the first place and we only went with it because there’s so little options even Zane couldn’t compute one that doesn’t end in HORRIBLE DISASTER—”

“I’m sure Kai know what he’s doing,” Zane pipes up, though there’s almost a pleasing look in his eyes as he turns to Kai. “That is correct, no?”

Kai shrugs. “About 25% of that sentence was right.”

“The… ‘correct’, yes?”

“Try the ‘no’.”

That was evidently the wrong thing to say, as all three of his teammates now look like they want to strangle him.

Their faults for trusting him. Yes, sometimes he has thought-out plans— and sometimes he does not.

“So you’re telling us—” Jay starts, and oh boy Kai already knows this is going to end screechy, “—that you suggested this plan. Knowing you don’t know what your doing. Making it up as we go. For a situation where we really ducking need a plan or we’re all gonna DIE, BECAUSE WE’RE ABOUT TO BUNGIE-JUMP INTO THE PIT THE GREAT DEVOURER ONCE EMERGED FROM TO TRY TO FIND A REMAINING SCALE TO LIFT AN ANCIENT CURSE AND HOPING WE DON’T GET EATEN BY AN EVEN BIGGER SNAKE IN THE DARKNESS—”

Okay, getting too screechy now. Kai gives him a light nudge. “Just trust me.”

Jay goes flailing down the pit with a shriek. Cole turns to look at Kai. “You do remember we’re all connected to the same rope, right?”

Kai blanks. “Uhhh—”

And that’s all the warning he has before the slack stops being slack and yanks him into the pit after Jay.

That moment when your reprogrammed murderous semi-boyfriend best friend tries to murder you with a knife and you go "nah, it's dance party time" and tie him in a tango so he can't stab you
