Are we...? Your forest in this situation?

[branches]

N-no! I'm just saying it's my nature to protect!! And my forest isn't here, so I'd have nothing else to do otherwise!

[shaft]

If I were a tree, which one would I be? I think I'd be a pine.

[ just totally ignoring his protests ]

[branches]

I guess you could be? A kuromatsu pine. It's a coastal plant so it's resistant to a lot of common contagions. And it helps protect the coastline.

[shaft]

[ his treesona... ]

Oh, that's a good fit! I'm from a coastal city back in Fódlan after all.

[branches]

[Oh my god it is treesona.......]

You'll have to fight Mabel for Pine supremacy, I guess.

[shaft]

[ he can take her ]

What type of tree were you, by the way?

[branches]

A gingko. I'm not on the coast like you.

[shaft]

I've never heard of that breed. [ ... ] You also didn't look like any tree I've ever seen.

[branches]

[BREED OF TREE....]

Well my tree is separate? Obviously this part of me isn't going to look like a tree? I'm a tree spirit, not just a tree.

[shaft]

So you've always had this little body?

[branches]

[OFFENDED.]

Wh-who said it's little!? I'm still growing!

[shaft]

Are you...?

[branches]

Y-Yes! I mean, the profile says "looks 16" right?? Humans at that age are still growing!

[shaft]

... But you're not human?

[branches]

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 ]
