Having her by his side is like a stat boost he never knew he was able to get. The motivation he feels swell inside him at her words, knowing she'll be there by his side, has him reaching for a vine with one hand while his feet try to find appropriate footing. He's more than ready to do his best, if she's there watching and cheering him on.

After about ten minutes or so Slaine's cleared a bit of distance, but the strain on his body is showing. He's almost there though and he refuses to give up. She wants him to get to the top, after all, and if it's a request of hers he's going to fulfill it no matter what.
