Gus nodded, because this was the kind of person he needed in his life during a time like that. “I am… erm, was a curse breaker.” Was, but maybe that would change soon? Gus missed it a lot, the challenges and the adventure. Hogwarts was exciting in its own way, but didn’t quite scratch that itch in the way he found himself craving more often than not.
“Well, I know ladies first is polite, but well…” He really didn’t want her to fall and him not be able to do anything. But at the same time Gus didn’t want her to think he was going first so he could do any funny business. It was a double edged sword. “I’d feel better if I went first, just in case.” He ran a hand through his hair, laughing nervously. “Do you have a rope? Harness?” He might just hang tight to a rope. It didn’t like that deep.
He bent down, reaching for a sturdy-looking rope coil he had pulled out of his bag earlier, before he quickly tied it off to something solid looking (the entire reason he picked this side of the pit), giving it a solid tug to test its strength. Satisfied with it, Gus peered down into the pit below. It was uneven but at least there were plenty of places to grab a hold of.
