"Just..." She paused, busily sawing now. "Trying something out! Heads up!" The vine snapped now, rich, full coils plummeting to the ground with more force as its weight tugged it down.
She shimmied quickly down the tree, squawking indignantly once when she nearly slipped, and then carefully placed her feet on solid ground again. "The vines weren't burning us when you cut them open," AJ reckoned, hefting one end up, poking it it with her bare finger. "If there's anything wet, it's going to be in the plants, like you said. I'm just seeing which ones give us the most without having to drill into the middle of those massive trees."
She plunked her ass down nearby him and began to whittle the vine's fleshy bark away, carefully touching bits of it to her skin, waiting for some kind of burn or sting or itch. "You know what? If nothing else, the fibres in the middle here could be braided together for shit. I bet you anything they'd make a decent rope."
