"Sunjata?!" Oh, thank gods, it's someone he knows - someone who can totally help. Relieved panic bubbles out as laughter; he shifts slightly, trying to move away from the stone digging uncomfortable into his back. "Oh I'm hanging on, don't worry."
The interluding seconds pass like hours, though it can't be more than a minute. "Fuck!" The rope smacks Koa square in the face, but he's far too elated to be annoyed. Carefully he shifts his weight, wedging himself in firmly enough to liberate his hands. Only when the end of the rope is wrapped squarely around his right forearm does Koa call up again. "Ok, got it! Give me a sec!"
Slowly, deliberately, Koa unfolds himself, carefully balancing his weight and pressure until he's in a position to climb. "Right - keep it steady. I'll climb up." Which is probably the harder way out, but it would scarcely count as him fighting gravity if he's carried around by a demigod, right?

Koa
I wanted you to love me like you used to do
