Wrong. "I think we need to pick something... easier next time." Like maybe they should have started with the dueling. She was good at that. "Like reading about trees. Reading about them is easier than climbing them." True fact.
Sitting on the branch, Cassia peered down and watched Dora climbing up. It was obvious that the Ravvie wasn't really enjoying this. Not that the snake was but she could tolerate it for now. "Easier. Not sure anything we'll do will be that easier," She said. "You can do it Isidora!" She shouted encouragingly to her friend. Did it work? She hoped so. And did she really say reading?? "We'll read about them once we finish climbing and want to take a nap." She grinned teasingly. Cassia surely preferred climbing trees over reading about them. Dora knew.

Grabbing for the tree's trunk, Cassia rose to her feet slowly making sure not to stir the branch which will lead to losing balance. She wouldn't want that for sure. Also, she figured that it might not be a very good idea that both she and Dora sat on the same branch. Just cautioning here. "Let's just get to that branch," She said pointing, " Then will start climbing down," Because she knew that for them the climb down would be just like the climb up. Hopefully a bit easier though.

The snake sucked in a deep breath then stretched out her arms and grabbed the closest higher branch. With the same technique, she dug her feet in any curves and pulled herself up. And now, she felt her arms and legs burning. Talk about being graceful. It would have also been more tolerated if the branch wasn't rough and if she hadn't cut her hand in the process. Not deeply but enough to sting. The fourth-year sat straddling the branch and leaning back on the tree's huge trunk. She fell silence regaining her breath and examining the cut on her hand.

"Okay...We feed...the ducks then head down," She said panting.

There was a reason those two didn't play Quidditch.
