topic of no return

Happy watched. He had not thought of it that way before. "Why would you be getting caught?" he asked, trying to get a laugh out of himself, but ended up failing. "Don't do anything you may... um... regret, okay? So you don't get caught."

Aravis folded back into the tree" Why do you care? she asked falling down in the shade of the tree.

"Well, why shouldn't I care?" he responded back shyly. "Here, let me try." he said slowly, getting up and facing the tree.

"You'll fail the first few times, and you don't need to care," she said climbing back up the tree.

"Maybe," he began, rushing towards the tree, "I want to." He had never climbed a tree before. He stopped himself from running into it at the last second, and immediately began scrabbling at the bark. "Mmnngghh..." he grunted as he began clawing in every possible place on the tree. Giving up, he let go and fell on his rear, giving a small "oww!" as he did.

Aravis jumped down once more" Listen, don't look for places. Just climb as fast as fast as you can." she climbed up the tree again as slow as she could go.

Happy gave a small huff. "And how long have you been doing this?" He retried, racing towards the tree quickly. He jumped and latched on. His momentum helped propell him up, and he had finally made it in the tree. Only then did he discover his fear of heights.

"Not long, since I got here," she sighed climbing higher.

"U- uh--!" He followed her reluctantly higher, keeping his sight off the ground far below. "And this is safe?"

"Well, no." she said climbing like a monkey, nimble, but also a little slow for Happy.

"M- Ma!" he whined at her reply. He crawled after her warily. Hand after hand. That's all. Just don't look dow-- "Aaugh!" A chill shot up his spine as he glanced down.

Even when she was so high up she took Happy by the collar, and set him down on a branch" Sorry about that, but you should stay here i'll be back soon." after that she started to climb the tree.

Happy flinched as she powerfully shifted him to a new spot in the tee. "What!? Stay here!? But--" The girl had already ascended higher than Happy dared to go.

When Aravis came back down she asked" How do we get you down?"

"Whaaat!?" He hugged a limb of the tree, too scared to let go. "Y- You mean you dragged me all the way up here just to get me stuck!?"

Aravis sighed" No!" she said in a forcefull tone. She put Happy over his her shoulder, and strted to climb down.

"Nuuu!" he cried as she pried his hands off the tree. "P- Please don't push me!" he begged. He suddenly was whipped over her back swiftly. He stared in shock, dying from fright.

Ooc: did you say she put happy on her back or over? Like, onto the other side?

ooc: Over her shoulder

When she was at the ground she ran up the tree" Hey do me a favor. Don't climb with me I was almost a the top."

Happy his behind his hair. "Sorry," he breathed, rubbing the back of his neck bashfully.

When Aravis was at the top she screamed to see if it would echo.

Happy watches her climb like a pro. It made him upset that he had been semi-insulted about his climbing. Suddenly, a shrill scream filled his ears. It made him jump to his feet fearfully. "Wh--! A- Are you okay up there!?" he called, shuddering at how her scream echoed slightly.

Aravis climbed down to the last branch, and jumped down.She was sweating so she lay down.

"Is this really necessary?" he grumbled underneath his breath. He watched her tiredly lie down. He sat down underneath the shade, staring at her. You're really weird. I hope you know that, he wanted to say, but he managed to keep it down.

"What?" she asked after she caught her breath.

"Nothing, just talking to myself," he lied, avoiding her gaze.
