[ Ace is down under the tree looking up as he watches Hanako do this. he will watch for a little bit of time before piping up at the exact moment Hanako would be in the most precarious position while climbing: ]
Whatcha doing?
Whatcha doing?
[ Bodyslamming Ace's face, if he didn't have a careful grip of the branch he's currently perched on, though he does sway a little as he looks down ]
Trying to reach the next branch. Just a couple more inches...
[ just a couple more inches out of reach, even when he stands on the tips of his toes ]

[ it would have been funny :/ ]
I see. Want a boost?

It's not a big dea-- wait watch where you're stepping--!!!
[ that is absolutely what happens, and now they are in a pile at the bottom of the tree, like two idiots ]

You stop-- [ FOOT TO THE FACE he is attempting to shove hanako off and probably just makes things worse so he falls down on top of him again ]
[ HELP
he's only 13-year-old boy strong right now, so his shouts get muffled in his hurry to untangle himself and scoot back away from Ace. ]
What was that for?!
[ sabotaging the other team already. okay, he sees how it is, that's how Ace wants to play, huh? ]

[ rubbing at the footprint on it ]

[ sighing a little ]
... It's fine. You're not hurt, are you? Sorry, I used to wrestle my brother all the time, but he's rubber, so he just bounces back from anything. [ he gets up and stretches ] Let's try this again, but more coordinated!

[ "he's rubber" can't tell if that's supposed to be a compliment or an insult ]
...I'm fine. I get into scuffles a lot with my brother too, so it doesn't bother me. [ """scuffles""" he gets beat up but it's the same thing
but okay, he circles around the tree, trying to get a better view of where he was and what better position there might be ]
Let's try that branch instead. If you give me a boost and throw me up a little, I bet I can reach it and pull myself up the rest of the way.

[ looks at ace talking about luffy. it's both. anyway, he's letting hanako pick the spot this time ]
You think? It might be easier if I climb up and give you a hand from there, too.

I grew up in a forest, I think I can climb a tree.
[ the climbing is not the issue it's whether the branch can hold both of them ]

I can't tell if the cheering feels condescending or not.
[ but yea despite being an Idiot who can't figure out when branches are weak, ace does climb the tree like a little monkey. sometimes you are the wild animals of the forest. to make sure he can reach he's also doing the stupid thing of hanging upside down from the branch with his knees, to make sure he lands right on his head when they inevitably crash. ]
See? Nothing to it!

Let's say it's not!
[ Regardless, it looks like Ace doesn't need his cheering, he's able to climb a tree just fine on his own. ]
...alright, fine, I admit it, I'm impressed.
[ Fine. He'll approach, then, and hold out his hands for Ace to take, like he's going to be swung straight up into the air instead of properly pulled up ]

I'll take it!
[ i am going to be honest. he does absolutely swing him straight up in the air. that is the kind of thing he would do. NYOOM MOTHERFUCKER ]

[ ace is further reminded that not every child is monkey d. luffy. there's just a yelp ]
Wait, you were supposed to grab something--! [ the good news is ace mostly manages to catch hanako. with his face and also his arms.
the bad news is the branch does not last for that to be a success story in any way and they are tumbling right back down ]

[
ouch.
He's just going to lie here for a moment, stare up at the sky and wait for everything to stop spinning. And then he gets off Ace's face. ]
You okay? [ nothing broken? not bleeding anywhere? if Ace looks fine, Hanako steps back, hmming to himself. ]
I'm going to go find a ladder.
[ What he SHOULD have done in the first place ]

... Yeah, I'm fine.
[ in a very wheezing tone. the thing most hurt is his pride, but luckily he's taken so many blows to that. ]
Hey, why do you want to climb the tree so bad anyway?

[ why is that icon ]
Haha... It's a little embarrassing, but I want to check out the other dorms! But the doors are locked, so I can only take a peek from the outside.
[ should've asked for Hanako's superhero ability to being able to float five feet off the ground again tbh ]
