[ The roof? There's no explanation given for that. Is the idea to be closer to the stars, or to simply find a spot away from everyone else in the darkness of the night? Fern is not opposed to either of those ideas, if she's honest.
Without much preamble at all, the other girl scales the stairs and then the rest of the distance up to the roof, her footing sure and her movements agile. It's certainly not the first time she's done this, that much is obvious.
It's not Fern's first time either, though. There's only a brief pause of hesitation as she considers whether she should follow, and it's not a matter of whether or not she can, but if it's a good idea to get onto a roof with an utter stranger.
The girl doesn't seem to mean any harm, though. And Fern is armed — as always.
So she does follow, meaning that by the time Jinx pokes her head back down, Fern is halfway up, her skill in scaling the building easily on par with hers (Acrobatics: 23). It takes only a few more seconds, and then she hops that last little bit up, hands gripping onto the edge of the roof so she can pull herself onto it.
Once up, she hardly misses a beat as she raises an eyebrow at the girl. ]
