"And yet you are still alive..." well he has a point there.
"If you would not tie it to yourself, then at least hold it. If the floor gives out again on one of us, it may at least give the others a chance..." magolor watched as sohn tied the dog to some of the rope, and debated on what he would do with ‘his’ section of rope. he sure isn’t attaching himself but holding it might be a good compromise…but if someone were to fall like vander did holding it would do no good; it would tear right through his hands, leaving him with rope burns, AND the two party members deaths. He didn’t want to not use it though.
an idea came to him when sohn attached his dog, and an idea about a dog leash specifically the loop you put around your hand. Most people would hold the line where the loop is attached with the loop around their wrist so if the dog suddenly pulled the line wouldn’t be teared out of their hands. So with that idea in mind he tied a loop in the rope for him to put around his wrist and hold on to the rope at the same time, that way if he could remove himself from the rope with ease but still be useful if he was needed.
While he first did wonder about what could have happened to the armored girl he had put it out of his mind when he was walking off, now with what he took as a subtle accusation about her, it seemed like it should be important again. Looking around for any clues about her disappearance, while Eliel decided what to do with his part of the rope, he noticed the small bit of blood that was over by where she was first standing and pointed it out after sohns decision about where to go next.
“theres a bit of blood over there…” looking to sohn with the question that now pressed on his mind “might it be hers?”
