[Aether startles the moment the plant moves to grab hold of Bricks, an "I told you so" on the tip of his tongue -- but now's not the time for that. It doesn't seem to be getting violent with him, but it hardly needs to for this to escalate in a bad way.]
[Which is why, as he replies, he holds his hand at his side to summon his sword in a flash of light.]
It's Aether, but-- do you really expect me to wait until then!?
[He doesn't move to cut him free yet -- hey, maybe he's just into this sort of thing?? -- but also, this plant is pretty huge, and possibly rare. And with the refugees only just gaining access to the Tengu's city, maybe destroying something in their special sky garden wouldn't be a good idea??]
[Of course, he doesn't see any vines coming for him yet -- but it's only a matter of time.]
