"You're pissing me off!" It hardly counts as an answer, but Ja'far is satisfied with it. He's too busy yanking at the rope to think of a better one, anyway. "You and all that goddamn laughing!"

He can hear the laughing starting up again, like bells that are just somewhat...off. It sounds like it's up in the trees somewhere, which is why he climbed this tree to try to kick its ass. However, now that he's up here, it sounds like it's coming from somewhere in the undergrowth. Well, he's up here now and he's not budging. The high ground gives you the advantage, after all. Especially when you have no other height advantage to speak of.
