(He watches closely as Gansey scales up the tree even further. It was trickier but he felt good enough to try it. He grabbed at the branch and started to walk himself up along the tree. He's clumsier on the next one. His brace gets a bit caught and he grunts, letting go to fall back down a bit heavily. The branch sways under him and Max merely stares up at Gansey blankly for a moment before attempting it again.
Max doesn't really think about the weight. Too used to metal and sturdy things to think about combined weights maybe breaking something.
He gets to the branch that Gansey has indicated for him and he sits on it with his legs hanging over the side facing Gansey. He idly swings his good leg, resting his hands over the curve of the branch. He seems wholly content to stay where he is and not go any higher up. Being in a tree is far different to looking at one and soon Max is staring away from Gansey through all of the branches. It's like being tucked away from the world. He's surprised by how safe it feels. Looking down, he spreads his legs a bit to get a better view and then looks up at Gansey in a bright sort of wonder. As if Gansey was responsible for the trees being there.)
