She stepped out from behind the beam and looked up at the man. "Maybe next time I'll try it with bare feet," she said. "Though I dunno if that'd be quieter or not, since the floor is hard instead of carpet." Would bare feet make more noise on the deckplates than shoes, or less? Clearly something to experiment with later.
