Sephiroth rolls his eyes, though she can't see it; he's climbing a tree, where is the risk in that?

"Understood."

Not that he grew up climbing trees, but any physical challenge has always proven easy for him, and he brings himself on level with the plant quickly enough. He's not exactly light, though, and as he moves out onto the branch, it begins to bend under his weight. He stops within reach of the orchid and pulls out his utility knife, digging it into the bark beneath the roots to get as much of the plant as possible. She didn't say anythng about not harming the tree.
