From his point on the thick branch, Josh looked around carefully balancing himself by holding on the trunk with one hand while his wand was in the other. Narrowing his eyes a bit, he monitored everything his eyes could see but it looked like as if there was nothing. He let out a sigh of frustration. He grew up wandering in the forests and had been thought many things like tracking in a forest, plants, animals. He was supposed to see if there was anything out of ordinary in the forest but no. He could not see any ninjas or other sings that had anything to do with them. This was a disappointment for him.

For a moment, he looked down at the others to see what they were doing. Hopefully he could very well hear what they were saying and the thing the Kennedy lad said about going on seemed reasonable for him. Seemingly no one was around anyway. Probably they waited for the team to advance further into the forest. For the last time, he decided, to make sure that he could see nothing, the young man observed the whereabouts again as much as he could see from the spot. ''Can't see anything, people. I think it is a good idea to keep going'' Time to jump off this tree then...

But...

His bare feet already a tiny bit hurt from pressing all his body weight on the hard branch but what now he was feeling around his ankle was something completely different. It was moving. Quickly, he looked down only to see a plant trying to hug his leg. No...probably not. It surely was not expression his love to him. Leaning down a bit, he pointed his wand at the tentacle and whispered the severing charm. ''You should look for something else to satisfy your appetite, my green and slimy friend.''
