Okay Oakey, time to decide. Go find another tree that wouldn't kill you for touching it, or...HOLY-HOLYHEAD HARPIES! That was the Willow he was grasping onto! Oakey released it and stepped back in fear.

"I just need a piece." Oakey tried to appeal to the tree again, even if it did not seeme to understand, or care what he was saying. He eyed the Giant Branch beside him. Okay maybe he needed to try another approach, the Willow apparently did not want him touching it's trunk. Probably because it was worried Oakey would go for it's vulnerable spot and paralyze it. Like hell, even if that did seem like how this was going to end. There was no way to please the Whomping Willow. So why even bother giving it an offering and singing it some song it wasn't going to understand. His eyes stayed on the one large branch beside him and Oakey took a good look at it. Some of the smaller branches and stems looked like they could easily snap off.

Okay one last try, then he can run for his life. He placed a shaking hand onto the branch that sat beside him menacingly. "May I take from this instead?" Oakey moved his hand to one of the old withered looking branches, and pet it.
"No Trunk, how about branch?" Oakey moved his free arm not on the tree in a large X in the direction of the Whomping Willow, then pointed to the branch he was touching and gave it a questionable thumbs up.

Oakey then let go of the branch too and took a step back away from the tree again.
The boy was harmless. It was obvious and didn't take an Ent to figure it out. The Willow kept its big branch on the ground by the boy, the other branches were swaying lazily with the breeze. But when he made those signs, odd humans talking with their hands, the branch rose up slightly toward the boy. Obviously, it didn't want to crush the boy yet. It would've done it already.
