"You'd rather we didn't fight." Trunks pointed out, and while he wouldn't mind--he respected her. Besides, this was a magical set up to test their brains, not their brawn. Which means fighting alone wasn't necessarily the correct answer.

"The water tried to carry us off earlier..." He's thinking again, gesturing her to come over closer to him. "Which means there might be something that way besides dead-ends. We take our chances if we go that way."

And then he's looking up in the direction of the pulleys again, and smirking. "Or we set a trap, and give us time to get around it." Back to her. "Your choice, Ahsoka. I'm down for either option." He'd fight if he had to, but he wasn't the only one involved.
