[Barnabas doesn't say anything to the thanks, choosing to focus on the task at hand. That blood isn't going to wait for them, and so Barnabas is likewise choosing not to dally any longer. Fortunately his muscles are not just for show, and so with a proper grip on that rope he begins his climb. He's quick, inhumanly so, and the physical effort required for this might daunt other men, but not Barnabas.
Honestly, the blood barely has the chance to catch up by the time Barnabas has them both to the top. How's that for supernatural, Cid?
Once they're at the hatch, Barnabas swiftly forces it open, allowing Cid to climb through firstβsince it doesn't seem big enough for them to both go through at the same time. Whoever designed this clearly didn't intend for there to be any cling-ons.]
