[If this was practically any other time Varian would be getting teased so hard about his inadequate tree climbing skills. As it is Fern just keeps on sitting there, waiting for him to catch his breath, only speaking up to answer his question.

I don't know! I don't know.... I was talking to Jon about some graffiti, and then he started looking at me, and he had way too many eyes, and - and he wouldn't stop, so -

[Even though he's far, far away from Jon now it still feels like those eyes have followed him, from the alley where he stabbed Glitch all the way to this tree. It makes a shiver run down his spine (a motion that for him makes his grass visibly twitch again), and he abruptly reaches up to grab his hat.]

So I had to do something!
