[ she seems satisfied when the rope passes his stretch test. one way or another, she expects it to be a more reliable test than her own. she leaves off inspecting the water tank (there's probably what, an AC unit parked up here as well, but who trusts those things anyway) to come look over the edge when he's measuring it out. she's not fearless, but having scaled taller walls by metal run ladders and trusting she'd be able to break through the windows at the top to get to an injured friend before, she's relatively fearless.

she is not, however, sure they're standing over her apartment. that she doesn't register as that being terribly important is part and parcel with her not being able to get back into her apartment building as a whole. ]

Mm, I think I should. In case something happens up here, I wouldn't be able to keep you from falling.

[ such as the rope breaking at the stress point over the edge, or coming untied, or she's not even sure what. this does nothing to address if she lets go or starts to fall, but she's less concerned that she will. in fact she's pretty sure she won't. she doesn't even think the rest is that likely, but if it did happen and he fell? she'd feel terrible. ]

Let me know when it's tied and I'll start climbing down!

[ does she know how to rappel



no actually, but how hard can this be? ]
