[Kuro's attention returns to the guy talking to him and he looks down at the pirate with a little scowl.]
I won't fall!
[No sooner has he said this than an ominous crack sounds and he falls through the branch he'd been standing on, the smaller branches in his hands snapping off as well. He's no doubt showering the pirate with the debris, but Kurogane himself happens to hit a thicker branch just a short ways down that he immediately latches onto. Huge frightened surprised eyes stare downwards at the redheaded stranger.]
