Jack chuckled. He wondered how that would turn out, Ryan climbing.

Ryan grunts, "Obviously." He rolled his eyes and turned to the tree, trying to figure out how to scale the tree. Ray tries to help instruct Ryan up, but Ryan was not finding the hand or foot holds Ray was trying to direct him to.
Elias does his push ups and jogs in place as he decides who to go after. He felt it would be unfair to go after Ryan so he went after Jack.

Jack grinned, gently leaving Sam and running.

Sam squeaks and runs away from Elias, who makes a split second decision and runs after her, quickly catching and tagging her. Elias then went to try and help Ryan climb the tree. Ryan, once successfully up, became a cat, too afraid to climb back down. Ray hops to the tree over, not wanting to have to deal with Ryan at the moment.

Jack watched the three in the tree, shaking his head a little.

Ray decides it wouldn't be fair for Sam to only have one person to run after so they jumped down from their branch.
Elias was trying to coax Ryan down now, but Ryan was holding onto the branch for dear life and shaking their head so hard Ray was sure he lost a few brain cells.
Sam pauses to try and help Ryan down because she didn't want her brother stuck in a tree. She had to tag him.

Jack walked over to Ray.

Ray nods amicably to Jack when they notice him walking over. Ray half watches the chaos in the tree, finding it very amusing.

Jack chuckled at the group, jogging in place.

Ray smiles, liking Jack's laugh. They wanted to keep Jack laughing so they could always hear it, though they weren't sure how to. They begin to pace since they had to keep moving in some way.
Sam finally dragged Ryan down from the tree and tagged him. Ryan was instantly on her tail once his push ups were done.
"They're a bit of a handful." Elias muses as he watches the soldiers-to-be.
