[ it's not exactly a sterling recommendation when the ten year old is the only one willing to toss common sense out the window in exchange for uncommon gambles on potential, but not guaranteed, results. yet here they are now.
Chihiro looks around after he does, definitely not having spotted the rope. she brightens up when he's walking back her way, trotting over to meet him and holding out her hands, like she's any judge of rope strength. (she's not.) she's still looking around for a good place to tie off, too. there's a few promising, sturdy looking parts of the roof that could service. including tying around an entire section of whatever machinery was settled here on top.
(or that could be a very bad idea indeed.) ]
It's not fraying. Does it feel brittle to you?
[ that's about the gauge she has for if it might be good or not. if he hands her enough to test with her hands, she... she will, but she's just got a ten year old's strength. it's not like she's shocking the rope into testing limits when she stretches it between two hands and jerks in both directions simultaneously.
still, she does try. ]
Did you see anywhere good for tying it down? [ she hands the rope back, walking away as she scans, though she'll turn back his way should he have an answer. Chihiro thinks she spots something promising, picking up speed and jogging toward the base of what might have once been water storage. tapping on the side with her knuckles now only produces a hollow, echoing clang. ] Is it long enough to tie here and still reach the balconies below?
