[He glanced from the tree to Mal, and caught her flattened ears and skepticism. He offered her an encouraging grin, his tail wagging lightly behind him. When she rested two paws on the first branch, he ducked under it, watching carefully as she took her step up. She didn’t take his ‘leg up’ as he had offered, and watching her do it herself just made his tail wag that little bit faster. She could do this!

He was still careful to keep himself under her, to soften her landing should she fall. When she was ready to get to the next branch, she turned to him, and he eyed her and the tree through narrow, thoughtful eyes for a moment.

He ducked back under the branch, backed up a little, and then ran forward. Leaping onto the higher branch and ignoring hers entirely. He got two legs over the higher branch, his butt swinging beneath him. He scrambled, feline-claws digging in, one wing shifting over the branch, using upper body strength (arms and wings) to haul himself up. His back legs scrabbled a little where they could reach against the trunk - and then he was up. He looked down at Mal, scooting over to give her room, and then spreading his wing out between them like another branch for support to lean or scrabble against. He wedged it against her branch, and leaned his muzzle forward, prepared to catch her scruff in his teeth if she fell. “Alright, jump up” he said.
