He can't help but snicker a little and pat here gently, making sure she's secure. "I'm glad you're comfy." He looks back to check if anyone's following, but no - he's clear. "Hang on. We're going up."

And indeed, since the crowds are thinner here, he slips into an alley and leaps up to try and grab the fire escape. He does manage to grab it... and it creaks before sliding down on top of him. He adjusts quickly, and only manages to slide down onto his butt, keeping Kitty up and safe from being rolled on as the fire escape ladder slams down over his legs with a screech of metal. "... That. That wasn't... huh."

It was loud, and Tobias frowns before pulling his legs out and climbing up anyway as quickly as he can. Easier to get around downtown on the roofs anyway. He'll just have to avoid rolls while he's got Kitty in his pocket. He quickly takes off running, jumping to the next building easily and scrabbling up the wall to get to the top of a third.
