[There's no reply from Chobe, just snorting at the message as he heads out to the stairs. He's about to ascend, before he suddenly stops, considering. Hm. Why not make an impression!

Where ever Esikko is chilling at the top of the stairs, he'll suddenly hear a faint crack, just before a vine zips out to grab him and pull him down the stairs. Get yoinked, bitch!! It's fast and abrupt, but notably, the vine lacks anything deadly this time--no thorns, no bristles or sharp branches. It does squeeze him a bit so it might leave a light bruise, but just as quickly as he's nabbed, he's released, dropped in front of Chobe. As the vine retracts, he gives a shit eating grin.]

I said I'd meet ya at the stairs, not whether that'd be at the top or bottom. But you get points for not running away this time!
