[ he catches the rope, and starts unfurling it- ] Right.
[ Rock is probably out. He’s not confident the rope would stay on any of them, especially when everything is... wet. And muddy. But a tree — that’ll probably work, right? Tying herself to things must be what the rope is for. A jinba wouldn’t be carrying rope that can’t reliably support a jinba.
So Simon wades through the mud to loop the rope around what he hopes is a really sturdy trunk, and double-knots it, pulling it as tight as he can.
And then he gives her a thumbs-up. ....which they definitely don’t do in feudal Japan but hopefully the sentiment gets across. ]
