What she said was alarming. "Fire?" As soon as Connor glanced up to ask Ariadne to elaborate, he was met with the sight of her disappearing higher into the tree branches.
It gave him two options. He could climb to where she obviously felt safe and sit nearby, or sit at the base of the tree and wait until she felt safe enough to climb down.
Connor turned and assessed the height of the tree. Climbing wasn't exactly his forte; and he definitely wasn't dressed for physical activity given his smooth-bottom shoes, slacks, jacket, and a white button-up shirt with long sleeves. But... it was necessary. He sighed to himself. Connor slipped off his jacket, dropped it in the grass, and began rolling up his sleeves.
He slowly - but diligently - started making his way up to the trees lower branches.
