7 watches as Altaïr climbs into the trees and starts following the group from there. She's not content to just watch, though, and eventually parts from the group in order to pull herself up and clamber behind. Trees are not her terrain, but heights are, and while her starts is a little unstable with some near-misses, it's not long that she's darting swiftly down the larger branches.
It's also a challenge to maneuver her spear in this environment, but she's not going to risk leaving it behind. As she gets more comfortable moving from branch to branch, she finds ways to use it as an extension of her arm, for balance, leverage, brake and rudder.
But they come to a river - and she comes to stand next to Altaïr and look at the moving waters. Given her lack of experience with water from her own world, and her frightening welcome in the fountain here, she's not too ken to cross it either.
