[ it's just smarter if he goes first! even if there's no sign of the dredge coming back (which there isn't, thank god,) she's stronger than him. if those boards didn't hold and eddie fell, she would've done a better job catching him than the reverse, she's pretty sure. all of which is clearly communicated in the little smile, raised eyebrows, and slight nod to the planks as if to say hurry up julie gives him in response to that look. ]
[ she's pretty fucking glad eddie's good at getting up there quick though, tension clear in the way she holds herself rigid and keeps scanning what she can see of this little street between glances up at eddie to make sure he's doing okay. once he's in, she's moving before he even speaks — might be willing to take the heat on his behalf, but that doesn't mean julie is by any means eager to be face-to-faces with that thing — and she starts climbing up to meet those hands. ]
[ well, first she casts a cautious look up just to satisfy her own worries about somehow pulling him out of the treehouse and dropping him to his death, but there's no way eddie is enough of a fool to reach for her if that was a risk. she hopes. but then julie reaches out for him, clasping his forearm in a tight grip, and once she feels like he's got her she does what she can to help him pull her up and in to the stupid little treehouse where she can catch her breath. ]
