[He definitely didn't expect her to follow his orders&mdsah;honestly he doesn't fault her for it. But he just ignores her protests, his eyes flicking up (or down, technically) at the branch. And then without another word a surge of electricity flies out from his fingertips, the lightning bolt just missing Lightning's face as it strikes the branch and surrounding vines.
There's a CRACK. Before she can protest he fires another one, this time aiming at her sword. It hits, and acting as a conductor it spreads further along the branch, causing the affected vines to writhe. Although the charge also goes downward toward them, the vines themselves are poor conductors and with the thickness and bundling of the vines, it doesn't travel far. At most they might feel some residual electric tingling from the burst of electricity in the air.
There's another loud CRACK and SNAP as the weakened branch suddenly bends downward. Three guesses as to what happens next.]
