So he clasps onto her with both of his and tries to pull as carefully as he can, to see if she can be freed without any injury. He offers a shakey attempt at a reassuring smile as he does so.

[ his lack of a success is unsurprising to her. were this a different kind of virtual swamp, his brute strength would have been enough of an opposing force but as it stands it succeeds at... doing nothing. cinder notices the water encroaching his shoes and she pulls her arm away before it decides to take a hold of him too. being rescued by him is one matter she can endure being stuck with him is even less desirable. ]

[ if there was one thing cinder had to like about rock lee, its his ability to be obedient. she observes him as he retrieves her a vine. his actions are vigorous and fervent despite the fact that cinder made him seek it out of her. initially, she had no appreciation for his upbeat attitude but she's... since been convinced he might be more useful than she gave him credit for.

Deal with that.

Your life won't mean much if it ends before I manage to get out of here.

Ah... Thank you very much! That is a very clever idea. I will do that... Right away!!
[Quickly,. he runs over towards the nearest vine and drags it over towards her to hand it to her!]

Lee looks over as the sludge monster emerges with a startled gasp, but then a look of determination.]
Ossu! I promise to do my absolute best - I will protect you with my life!!

Ah... That is a good point, Tink-san! I promise to do my best to stay alive until you are safe!!
