No?

[Squinting at Claude.]

Haven't you been paying attention? I'm a tree spirit.

[shaft]

Exactly. So would you grow the same as a human?

[branches]

Not the same. I mean, It's only been maybe 7 or 8 years since my tree was planted.
[HE'S EVEN MORE BABY THAT PREVIOUSLY ASSUMED.]

But I used to be smaller than this! So obviously I can grow more??

[shaft]

I feel like with immortal creatures they normally hit puberty and then stop...

[branches]

I'm going to get taller!!! Bon's the same height as an average human, and I'm more powerful than him, so why shouldn't I be as tall??

[shaft]

Do you think strength and height are related?

[branches]

Yes. Byakuroku was really tall.

[shaft]

You might need to broaden your horizons.

[branches]

I'm going to grow taller than you just to prove you wrong.

[shaft]

Be my guest. I'm not insecure about my height.

[ hmph ]

[branches]

Hmph.... I could be taller than everyone else here right now if I had my powers.

[shaft]

What are those anyway? Other than turning into a giant snake.

[branches]

My dad's the snake! My real form is more like a huge bird with hooves and branches for antlers.
