Stay still or stay away?

Just keep it going, keep it going...

The narrator starts right away by notifying the adventurer to proceed right away, and they obliges by sheathing the sword back into its hilt with the left hand and lowering the shield in the right. After slinging it over the right shoulder and across the body, they believe they should present the most inoffensive presence possible to not trigger the sapling from reacting negatively. A small step forward follows by a slow, controlled breath of calm and the other steps follows as well as they approach it as careful as possible. As they bring the distance closer, they could see the flora's size is certainly a bit foreboding, with the top of its leaves approaching the average human torso. Since they feel they could now be as close as they could and the creature hasn't respond to their action aside from minute amount of rumblings, they take the final step to be at a touching distance. And they do just that, reaching out upward slowly with their left hand and lower it to finally graze the top of the giant sapling. The moment their fingers touch the leaf, they could feel more than a rumble from the plant, and their question is answered by a couple of vines reaching up toward them. Feeling a little dread of a déjà vu, they need to make a decision whether or not to let them reach their hand or pull their hand right away. Is it a second time lucky for you, oh dear adventurer? Decide now. Tick, tock.

Stay still, or stay away? Decisions, decisions. In the end, they decided to...?
