I will never be too afraid to bleed, giving all of me
"Or bored," Kaisel adds in after the humor, thinking of how many times he's created obstacle courses for bugs as a way to burn idle time while waiting or when assigned to very boring guard posts or patrols. Perhaps this is just the gods' version of that.
"Not a very good hiding place if you ask me," he reasons as he's forced to fight to retain his own boot. It frees with a wet and sickening pop. "I mean, anyone with a flying shift can just soar right over to the middle, and I'm betting some earth or water users would have a much easier time than we are." They could call their own spirits to their aid if they really wanted, but laziness does not seem worth the cost, although time is a more valuable commodity than it's often given credit for. "Definitely makes it more annoying, I'll give it that." An earned worthiness is maybe the point. To be tested, rather than just strolling to it.
It gives him an idea though. "Not sure we want the long-term consequences of rearranging the sentient shrubbary," he says with a shake of his head, even if he is confident they could handle it. "Do you think this bush has enough strength to hold us? You could hoist me up on your shoulders, and I climb up[/i] to the top of the shrub, and then I can haul you up, and we run along the tops?" A hairbrained scheme maybe, but Kaisel has always preferred to get to the high ground in a situation and after feeling a bit crowded by all the looming greenery, he'd like a reminder that there's a world outside these twists and turns. "We might have to run fast, so it can't catch up to use." It, of course, being the maze, who he's certain won't appreciate being clambered on. This is assuming their fast enough to even make it up there, but Kaisel would ebt they could (note: Kaisel is not an adept gambler).

Kaisel
I'll be more than just a fable, I'll be written in the stars
Wearing a watery blue, faded and stretched-out sparkling hair tie on his left wrist
