Rose rubbed her eyes first in amazement, then in agitation. "Well then," she spoke mostly to herself, "we need a way to cross now." Walking over to a tree that was nearest to the new gap, she pulled the rope that she had tried to use to keep them in the trees before Aighan showed up. Feeling her strength have somewhat returned, she told Enya and Ellaria, "Stay here for a moment; I'll be back."
Rose climbed the tree, blocking out all sounds except for the branches she tested. Once she found one she thought was sturdy, she climbed out midway and tied the rope as securely as she could. Going back to the ground, Rose looked at the length of it and was positive they could make it to the other side.
"Ellaria, what do you think?" she checked. "Is that branch sturdy?" Turning to everyone else, she explained, "Hope you guys want to be monkeys-- though what to do with Michael, I don't know."
