Whit looked at Zeke, startled. Then, he realized that he hadn't made enemies with him, and he was relatively safe- still, help? They were enemies in the long run. Then, he thought about the composers words. Safety also lay in the soul of another, or something like that. Still... How could that work? In his brief experience, climbers only could help eachother by tying a string to eachother, ensuring neither fell. Whit did need help, yes, but he wasn't comfortable putting his life in someone elses hands, unless the other person somehow profited enough that they couldn't betray him. The person in front of Whit definitely looked stronger than him, and would probably be faster without him. Whit chose his words carefully.
"... No, thanks, but you'd be better off without helping me. I would slow you down. But... Between us, truce? I don't really want to fight anyone while climbing a wall. "
Damn, Whit thought. He had probably come off as unfriendly. Being nice just wasn't something he was good at.
