But mostly the boy seems to be having fun. Fun enough to make her smile

and forget waht she THINKS is on the scroll

Connor might be a monkey as much as a dog from the way he's swinging up there. Maybe he's picked up a few tricks from Snow!

"Okay, he's good"

"More than good, he's Grrrrrrr-rrrrrrrrrr-rrrrrrrrrreat!" He sings along to a jingle about sugar frosted cereal panthers.

Siv grins, and wihtout hop scotch, makes her own way up.

"You - can't - catch - meeeee..." He chortles and scrambles to try to keep out of reach.

And Siv laughs, and tries... and even Monkey Boy Connor might have trouble staying ahead

A giggle and he ups the Ante on the obstacle course, rubbing his hands vigorously in his hair to generate a flicker of static discharge, and then tapping his feet and hands with the sparked fingertip. "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go fast...." And he zips up, adding Quicksilver to his climb!

Or he would, if it worked as he expected. Tapping his fingers to his toes, then making a zippy sidestep that would land perfectly on that swaying bit of rope at the speed he had expected, but he's Not at that speed, and finds his foot out over thin air. "Go... go fast?!" A surprised yelp.

Siv leaps from a rope, and flips to grab...

and without using a cantrip, catches him and carries them both up to another platform for a mostly safe landing "ooff.hey.. you okay?"

"My shoes flipped when they should have flopped!" His eyes are wide, locked on Siv. But he still seems excited, not scared. Probably because he hadn't looked down. "Why didn't my vroom have any zoom? I was sure I filled the gas tank. I had THREE muffins."

"Even sorcerors slip" she says comforting "That's why it's good to have a Captain and crew"

"Yes, but then you have to share the muffins." He peeks down over the edge of the platform. "You weren't ascurred that you'd fall?"

"Not not really no" She says and realizes it's true "Either I was going to make it, or I wasn't. No point in being afraid about it"

"I wasn't afraid none, neither. Because I know that Cap'n Siv'll never let me fall." A wag.

"See, watch, if I just...." And he swings a foot over the edge - then pulls it back with a laugh. "Did I get ya? Did I?"

"Yeah, you noodle" She noogies him after her eyes did widen just a bit "Gonna get me in trouble with Gerd and my mum you are"
