Taking the silence (As Ivan couldn't very well turn from his position on the tree to see the nod) as an answer, Ivan slowly but steadilly made his way upwards. "Let me know if I'm too fast, or too slow, ok?"

Prototype examined his movements, trying to mimic them to follow his path. "You are fine right now, I am not having trouble."

Ivan grinned, an action that was unseen as he continued to move upward. "Great! We're almost at the branches ok?"

Prototype didn't look down, she didn't care how far the fall was, she already knew it would be dangerous. "Do you have a plan for getting back down after?"

The echidna nodded, pulling himself up on one of the first branches of the climb- Most of the ones at this level were large, and about half way up the branches area the tree split, providing enough protection to make it safer to climb. "Of course! Don't worry!" He didn't want to say anything to Prototype right now, but the first time he'd come up there, he'd gotten stuck- In the end, when he fell, he'd pulled out one of the large leaves from the branches. With this, he ended up parachuting down.

Prototype stopped when she was standing on a nice thick branch. She looked up, calculating the rest of her climb.

"...Need any help?" Ivan, just a little ways above the hedgehog, was almost where he wanted to stop with her. Climbing to the top itself would be uncomfortable, as they would have to cling to the branches. But where he wanted to stop they could sit between a few as though it were a bench with a bar in front of it, without worrying about falling down. From behind there, there would be many other branches that could be walked upon, while in front of them would be the jungle. But that was about three meters above him at the moment.

Prototype jumped, both of her hands caught onto a branch and she began to swing, until she let go and flew upwards catching on another one. She took this 'bouncing' and 'swinging' method of getting from branch to branch until she was a fair bit higher than Ivan. She looked down at him waiting patiently.
(For how she got up, think of kinda like how Mario does the 'wall bounce' type of thing)

"-Ah..." Watching as Prototype quickly got ahead of him, he laughed a bit. "Ahaha, I guess not... Wait up though! We can't go all the way- You're only one branch below where we're going now!" Above her after all, the branches practically formed a floor- There was almost no space to get above it.

Prototype blinked and looked up, yet she waited for Ivan to catch up first.

Climbing up to where Prototype was, Ivan motioned for her to follow him around. "There's a break in the branches up here... Um... After we're up there do you think you could close your eyes?" He hoped that wouldn't be too bad.. But he wanted this to be a surprise!

"If I'm not going to fall... Then why not I suppose... I don't know why I would either but..." She shrugged.

"Don't worry, you won't!" Ivan climbed up through the gap, reaching an arm down to Prototype so she could get up with her eyes shut.
They'd been climbing for a while it seemed- It was almost sunrise (He HAD entered the base late at night after all).

Prototype trusted him to help her up, taking his arm and then allowing him to lead her on. She did not understand the point of coming here, of why she needed her eyes to be closed, she hoped he would explain it all soon...

Ivan slowly led her along the branches, coming to the spot where the leaves left a large hole to see the jungle below. The sun was rising in three... two... one...
"Ok... Open your eyes."
