climbing [★] go the distance

KIAN Ó FAOLÁIN

So bring on all the monsters, That lie sleeping in the blue
I'll fight 'em all bare handed, Screaming I ain't scared of you

Bakugou's voice grabs Kian's attention.  His ears perk up, sea-green eyes still locked on the squirrel he had been stalking.  His paw froze in mid air, drawn in despite himself by curiousity.  The rusty spotted cat spared a sharp glance at the rodent then bounded after the sound of the ragdoll's voice.  "Hey, what's the sto-" You're kidding.  The feline's mouth clamped shut, opened, only to snap shut again as his eyes spotted an familiar pattern of spots on a small tail, far higher than he'd like to see.  "Keona?" His brows rise sharply, eyes darkening a smidge.  Did she really climb all the way up there?  He had to admit that was impressive, given he had never seen her do anything like this before, but congratulations could be conducted after she was on solid ground.

"Can you get down?"  Worse came to worse, he could catch her.  It would be simple.  Air.  Even water.  Or he could shift into something else.  Something that could climb and carry.  Or he could just climb up to get her.  Kian would have no trouble making his way up to her, then back.  Would it be better - the fatherly thing - to try directing her first?  Encourage her to do it on her own?  Or was it too dangerous at this point? He knew he could not bare her falling.
