[ Ah, right. Claude had seemed all too comfortable on the back of a wyvern in that dreamscape. And while it was a nightmare, Steve can only assume that it had been close to reality. He hasn't seen Claude fly around in the Horizon, but he does recall there being wyverns in his domain. ]
That could have been your way of overcoming a childhood fear, to be fair. But yeah, that makes sense. You grew up in a pretty arid climate, right?
[ Steve just hadn't had the constitution to climb trees when he was young, and to be honest, he's not sure he remembers his first time doing so. It must have been during the war, but he can't recall the exact occasion. Bucky probably had some choice remark about it...
Steve face twitches for a moment at the mention of Petra, yet another person who's vanished from Abraxas without a trace, but doesn't dwell on it, focused instead on Claude's ascent. Claude can't stay in one place for too long because the vines disappear almost as soon as they form, which means Steve should probably keep his mouth shut and stop distracting him.
Although he does have to respond to Claude's reassuring words, at least. ] That's a nice way of putting it, sure. I just don't want you to think I haven't forgotten how much I owe you for that day. [ Here's hoping he never has to return the favor.
And with that handled, Steve tilts his head up further, finding it harder to track Claude's position as he gets higher in the tree. It's a good thing he wears bright colors. ] See anything promising yet? [ The fruit they're looking for seems to have some kind of glow to it, so hopefully it'll stand out. ]
