"Don't worry, I've got you." Nevermind that Stratos is bigger than Jim is. The captain's prepared to reach out and steady Felix's--and his, soon--older brother should he misstep while he focuses on his spells. With a very specific few exceptions, something that Jim never gets tired of observing on Nirn are mages in the midst of their craft. Though clairvoyance sadly doesn't look like much to an outside observer.

He's sure Stratos has a spell in hand. Jim's seen both brothers adopt that gesture many times before over the years. He waits patiently for the spell to work its literal magic and Stratos to drop his hands completely before he tries for conversation again.

"Wasn't sure there was much further South to go." Jim nods toward the rope. "You first. I'll untie this and we can take it with us, just in case. Best not to leave it here for anyone to find. Then I can hop down and you can catch me."
