He glances back over at him, grinning. "Don't even try to pretend like you're above it all. There are beautiful things in this world that aren't trying to kill us. Just listen to them. Doesn't it sound like they're speaking?"
Eventually, they pass out of sight. The sounds continue to carry for longer. Cullen can still feel the rock vibrating under his feet by the time he finally decides to sit down again, and then realizes he's still naked.
Chuckling to himself, he slides off his perch and walks over to pick up his clothes. It's never very nice dressing in dirty clothes with a relatively clean body. The only saving grace is that his armor took most of the blood and ichor. He sighs and glances back up toward the clifftop. "I suppose we ought to think about getting back."
