Kirisvala nodded happily at Roy upon hearing his comment on her enthusiasm and then listened attentively as he supported her and said that it was time to get going. Needless to say, she was pretty hyped about beginning the climb, and waited expectantly for Roy to gather the supplies and for everyone else to get ready so that they could start moving, bouncing from side to side on the balls of her feet as her tail twirled wildly on the space behind her.
Their walk towards the mountain took them through the forest, the very same one where she had gone to fight Carter earlier, and so, she obviously scaled up the first tree she came across with the aid of her claws, not bothering to come back down for the rest of the trip to the mountain. The following twenty minutes were spent darting from tree to tree, using their boughs to vault herself into the distance and occasionally also swinging from vine to vine like a jungle dweller; she had the urge to let out a primal shout once or twice, but decided against it to avoid alarming her teammates.
Only until the group made it to the edge of the forest did Kiris finally descend from the trees, reluctantly at that. But what little sadness might have entered her as a result of having to come down was quickly washed away when she saw her upcoming challenge. All in all, it wasn't very big for a mountain, but that didn't take away her excitement. She was about to conquer her first Earth mountain, after all! Without answering Roy's question, she ran up to the foot of the mountain and began scaling up the rocky wall, her claws sinking into the stone without too much resistance. She quickly moved up a fair distance, before reaching a suitable ledge on the side of the mountain and sitting down on it, looking back down at the rest of the group with a happy smile on her face.
"I'm fine with either!" She shouted down while cupping her mouth with her claws. "If you decide to go inside I'll catch up!"
