7 nods, checks her watch, then heads upstream. The further she went up, the deeper the stream cut. The banks started to narrow in, but they were steep and muddy; she stopped to test the edge, and it gave way and almost pitched her in right there; jumping would not exactly be the best choice here.
She looks up at the trees; as the stream was closing in, so was the canopy. The branches were thin, but they looked supple. It might work. She continues following it upstream, where it levels out into a little pool that fed into the creek. A log had toppled over and looked like it may have created the barrier that caused the little pool before water strted bubbling out underneath it again. She put a hand on it and gave it a shove; it wasn't completely stable, but it seemed like it was going to take a little more power to knock it loose. For two relatively lithe people, it might actually work as a bridge.
7 checks the watch again, and turns to head back to meet him. There were a couple options this way, but each came with their own warning labels. Hopefully Alaïr had found something better.
