Sephiroth nodded as Elie confirmed his suspicions. Leaping back into the trees to search for more, he kept one ear out to listen to his companions' conversations, though he wasn't really paying too much attention. Only enough to pick up any information he deemed important or vital to the current task. He didn't really care about the girl's shop or whatever it was, though clearly she seemed to enjoy it. And enjoy talking about it. The other proverbial ear was listening for anything out of the ordinary. It would be humiliating to be snuck up upon by some beast. Not that he would be.
So far, his search for more eggs and proven fruitless. Speaking of which, it would probably behoove him to follow the girl's advice and look near the tree's fruit as well. Currently, Sephiroth was hanging upside down, one arm holding onto the thick branch and his feet firmly planted on the bottom of said branch to stabilize himself. His other arm was being used to look through the leaves and smaller branches while his long hair hung, swaying a bit in the wind. It was right about then he heard a faint growling. Looking around, he saw nothing near himself. The sound did not sound like it was near him in the first place, however it did sound closer too...
"I suggest you cease your search for the moment and do not move," he said softly, having suddenly appeared at Elie's side after jumping from his perch in the tree several feet up, a hand lightly but firmly wrapped around her forearm to keep her from continuing her search for the moment.
There's a reckoning a-coming
It burns beyond the grave
There's lead inside my belly
Cause my soul has lost its way
