[It seems like kind of an odd request to him, and he's not really sure what to make of Ralph's apparent fixation on whether this tree makes noise, but he doesn't see any reason not to comply. Tree-climbing is one of the few things he's pretty sure he's decent at, anyway.
He gives Ralph a few seconds to get back down before taking hold of one of the roots above him and pulling himself back to his feet. From there, it's a pretty simple matter to start climbing his way from one section of roots to another, moving in as great a range as he's willing between the trunk of the tree and the thin ends of the roots.]
