Bruce is calm, at least, sharp-eyed - once he directs Seoraj in a quiet but clear voice to navigate a certain way - though part of him is, privately, wondering just how he's going to deal with the consequences of this banter. It's not that he's nervous, but it's ... well, different, and Bruce doesn't like not having a plan.
Now, though, he has other priorities. And when Seoraj is safely into the cave ledge, Bruce begins his descent, pinning and pulling his way down, though honestly relying more on his own ability to climb over the rocks. It would be safer, yes, to leave the rope anchored at the top, but then they'd be leaving a flag to anyone watching. When they leave he'll do things the hard way. That's fine.
When Bruce drops down into the cave without incident, he has the decency to look a bit worn-out, at least.
