Prototype's eyes did not wander very much as they went along, mentally she was busy memorizing the way back to the Doctor's base. She did know it was easy to get lost in this jungle. Her eyes shifted ahead towards Ivan who she had been letting lead the way through this forest. To whatever it was he was looking for...

Ivan looked around the rather moist jungle, a smile on his face as he recognised a few 'land marks' (Read 'vine clumps') that were set up along the area. There was a tree around here somewhere, the trunk almost as large as his old house... If you climbed up the vines and up to the very top of the immense tree, you could see the entire jungle from above.
"We're almost there," he turned around to say this, as though worried that the walk might be boring Prototype. "...Can you climb well?"

"I can climb adequetly." Her eyes were still focused on the Echidna. "It depends upon the surface and the terrain around it."

The echidna smiled. "Good! It should be just over..." Ivan trailed off as they approached a curtain of vines, before he grabbed a few and pulled them back to reveal the tree. "Here! We're going to climb up that tree!" Around the tree, there seemed to be a beautiful light, as though blessed by some unseen gods. Even the birds native to the jungle seemed to be at peace there- It had to be that they all spotted the two standing there, and yet they continued to act as though nothing had happened. Truely a place of peace...

Prototype took a step towards it, judging upon the height from where she was. She was not really much of a climber... A runner yes. No, she hadn't ever really tested climbing but... She had a good estimate on her abilities. She also knew Echidna's were good at climbing, very good, an easy climb for him might be... Well hard for anyone else.

Ivan looked over at Prototype, as though unsure of her ability. "Ah... You're sure you can climb it right? If you can't, I could help! There's lots of thick vines, you might even be able to run up until we reach the branches!" Hopefully this was helpful advice...

Prototype looked over it. Judging the places she could reach. "Perhaps..." She found a spot she could jump up to, and another... "What's the purpose of climbing this tree?"

"Ah, well, at the top..." He stopped- He didn't really want to spoil the surprise... "There's something special up there! It's really a beautiful thing!!"
He didn't know how right it would be.

Prototype turned away from him and walked back the opposite way of the tree, she did not say a word, did not look at him. He might think she had decided to go back, who could tell as she didn't say anything. Finally she turned around again and faced the tree once more. "Move off to the side, I don't want you to get hit."

"E-Ehhh? Hit!?!"
Hit? By what? Ivan looked up, squinting his eyes. He didn't see anything, well... The sun was too bright to see anything really... Wait. She meant her. Quickly realizing what would happen if that were to occur, he did so. Maybe she was getting a running start?

Prototype rolled into a ball, picking up speed she spun on the spot. Dirt and dust picked up behind her as she prepared to shoot out. Her form became a blueish blur as she spun faster and faster, finally shooting out. A blast of the pure wind picked up behind her and whooshed into Ivan a split second after she went past him. This ball went spinning around the tree like a tornado and eventually she stopped on a thick branch, about half the way up. She looked down at Ivan with her golden glowing eyes. A smile had creeped onto her face. "You're lagging behind. I thought Echidnas were supposed to be the best climbers."

"E-E-EH!?!" Ivan flushed, an indignant look on his face as he pointed up at Prototype. "I-I.. Echidna's are good climbers but not fast ones!!" He hurriedly ran around one of the round vines to grab another, making his way up in much more time than it took Prototype .
Crossing his arms as he stood up on the branch, he grinned. "You can see more when you climb anyways neh? This is only a third of the way up... Branches don't really start until halfway..." As if to check to see if he was correct, he turned towards the tree to look up at it. It was very imposing..

Prototype looked up, and made an estimation on how hard it would be to get up higher. She really couldn't do anything more from where she was... At least not the same thing. Once she made it to the branches it would be easy.

Ivan grabbed a few of the vines, beginning to make his way upwards. "I think you'll have to climb from here... Just follow my lead, I'll take the easier route around so you can find the footholds ok?"

Prototype nodded, looking up again at the tree. It was a huge climb and the fall, if she fell, would likely be fatal... Not that she planned to fall of course, and she certainly wasn't going to back down.
