[Toby's perspective]

"So what do you want to do?" Jack tilts his head to the side. I hum softly, trying to think. "Well..." I start off. "T-there's a re-really cool tree in h-here somewhere. It's h-huge, and I use to climb it all the ti-time when out on missions." Jack raises his eyebrow.

"You... want to find a tree?" He questions. "With me?" I nod and start walking, making Jack run to catch up. "Wait so... what's so special about this tree?" I just shrug and keep walking. "You'll just h-have to wuh-wait until we g-get there."
"Get there? So you know where it is..?" All I do is laugh at his cluelessness. "J-just sh-ut up and walk."

a grin appears on my face. And as if Jack can sense it, he punches my arm, not enough to hurt me, and says, "Quit grinning will you." It causes me to burst out laughing while I take my mouth guard off and put it around my neck. "Jeez, I'm j-just try-trying to have f-fun."

We walk in silence for a bit until I spot the tree. I look over at Jack, and he looks in my direction. "What is it?" He asks."we're here!" I say in an excited tone, grabbing onto Jack's wrist and dragging him along. "How g-good are yo-you at cl-climbing?" I ask, tilting my head upwards to see the size of the tree. "Well, for someone who can't see, I'd say I'm pretty good as long as I have someone to guide me."

I nod. "G-got it. Just gu-guide the bli-blind dude up t-the tree. Simple enough. " Jack faces my direction and scoffs.
"I can always take you back to the mansion, and we can forget about the tree." He threatens, but his tone is slightly playful. "Okay, ok-okay, I'm s-sorry. I'll guide y-you up the t-tree."

Jack starts climbing the tree, and I'm watching him, telling him in what direction to go in order to get to a sturdy branch. Once he's there, I start climbing up, sitting next to him as i make it. I lay back and take a deep breath, closing my eyes and just inhaling the smells of the forest.

After  a while of just pure silence, my eyes slicker open to the sound of movement. I jump slightly when I see Jack inches away from my face. He lifts his mask up slightly so it rests on the top of his head. "So... why'd you bring me here?" He asks, leaning in closer.

"Be-because I can." I flick his forehead, in-between his eyes, causing him to back away. "OUCH! what did I do??" He asks, freighing innocence, causing me to laugh. "Y-you weirdo." 

"Can you go one sentence without having those tics?" he says in a teasing tone, causing me to retaliate. "Can you g-go one night without h-having no eyes?" After a moment, we both burst out laughing. "Cliqué." He says in between laughs before sighing. "Maybe I should be nicer. I know you can't control your tics."

"Yeah, I sh-should be t-too. I kn-know you can't con-trol having no eyes." Jack punches my arm playfully and leans back against the tree. "Ha ha very funny."
"M-maybe we should he-head back. The sun w-will be coming up s-soon." Jack nods in agreement.

"So what's the quickest way down?" He chuckles and looks in my direction. "The quickest w-way down w-would b-be falling" were both silent for a minute before bursting out laughing. "And death comes completely free!" He ruffles my hair and snickers. "Come on let's just go."
