"You can," Karal agreed, watching her anxiously. "Don't let go of the branch." They'd been on their way back from the stables when Valerie had stopped, looked up, and decided they were going to climb the tree.
Karal had intended to tell her no, to explain that it wasn't safe to climb trees, and that it was drizzling, and they really should get inside. He got one word out before she turned big eyes on him, and next thing he knew he was lifting her up to the bottom branch and scrambling up after her.
Altra, openly snickering, gracefully leapt up after him, and was perched on Valerie's other side.
"How long do you want to stay up here?" Karal asked her, peering down at the ground and wondering if Evey was going to kill him.
"Until I'm ready to get down!" she proclaimed, happily petting Altra, and Karal sighed, knowing he was completely unable to resist her and finding it very difficult to mind.
