[OoC: I didn't extend the spell because I figured I wasn't that far away from the first tunnel Toot dug. And I forgot to mention I was swapping Lesser restoration.]
While waiting for the elemental to return, Toot hugs Boo's snout and scratch the bridge of his nose. Toot was letting fate decide his next course of action. Someone like Kiera couldn't understand what it was like to be in constant fear of being randomly killed in a multitude of horrible ways. Jermlaine knew the fickleness of fate and they had created many superstitions that have helped keep them alive since the dawn of their creation. That first day when the first happy and naive Jermlaine told his parents that he was going out into the big world to be somebody! Then only to be scraped off big folk's shoe 30 seconds later. So when the elemental doesn't return from retrieving such a simple object as a rope that would be sorely needed when cave diving, it sets Toot's finely tuned instincts on edge.
"Me sorry, but fate telling Toot to stay away from caves. Toot need rope and grapple for caves. Unlikely rope being guarded by monsters. So make no sense elemental not bring rope back. Fate must be trying to tell Toot something. Toot not listen to instincts first time and Boo got hurt. Toot not want Boo be hurt like that again."
