Assuming she got up high enough, Dora didn't actually climb trees that often.
Waiting for her friend to lead the way, she opened up her pouch and put the bread in there, then slipped it back into her pocket with her pet, ready to climb the tree. Dora started up the same way that Cassia started, much slower and careful than the snake had moved. "I got snacks for us too.... not just the birds." Her foot slipped and she sort of dangled off a large branch for a moment before regaining her footing and scrambling onto the branch for a rest.
She wasn't high in the tree, but she was IN it, and that was accomplishment enough.
"
That's great," She grinned down at Dora who was like a a branch or two lower. Cassia had forgot to bring bread or anything for the docks. Good thing she had her Ravenclaw friend with her to think ahead for both of them. The snake kept her eyes towards her friend and kept still until she was sure that Dora had regained her footing. Good. Only then did the snake look back up and search for the next branch she was going to use. She paused trying to decide between two, one was closer but she didn't really find a spot that'd work as a foothold. So she decided on the a bit further one but with safe footholds beneath it. She took a breath in, extended her arm and grabbed the branch giving herself a boost so she good bring her feet simultaneously to the new foothold. She kept gripping the branch until she made sure she wasn't going to lose her footing.
She inched closer to the branch's base and hauled herself up so that she sat on it, her feet dangling. She felt the drops of sweat on her forehead already and decided to rest for like a minute till Dora made it to the same level. They weren't going that fast but it was better than consuming their strength very fast. Baby steps.
"
The view is awesome from here," Though she wasn't that high up, she still good see part of the grounds and all the pond of course.
