Uh, excuse me!

YOU are the one who was going to be a fish, so you can't-- [He has to pause to haul himself up higher. It's starting to get a little harder to focus on witty banter.]

Uh, fish can't dangle hooks!

[But that isn't going to stop him from sassing with utter confidence, even if it goes off the rails halfway through.]

Key word: WAS!

_{[She has to climb somewhat tenderly to avoid covering herself in scrapes, but what she lacks in speed she's making up for in sheer relentlessness.]}

I WAS going to be a fish, but now I'm being a fuckin' orangutan.

An orangutan who's gonna get you.

[Envy doesn't respond right away this time, because he's busy choosing between the increasingly sparse "safe" limbs. They're starting to get more thin and bendy than something that can be used to climb. He stops climbing, finally, catching his breath.]

[And starts peering around, wondering if maybe, just maybe, there's another tree close by that he could make a jump for......]

Oh yeah, well...if you're an orangutan, I'm a spider monkey!

[foolishwren]

Orangutans eat spider monkeys!

<sub>[... Shit, wait-- that's not true, is it? What were the apes that would eat other apes? Was it chimps?]

[Whatever. Envy probably doesn't know anyway! He was from like, the early 1900's!]

[She's gaining some ground-- er, trunk-- on him now that he's reached as far as he can go. The other trees are too far away to jump to without just. Falling.]</sub>
