As he pulls on the vine, the grip tightens, as the sap begins to harden like glue over the cut he made, healing itself.
Cutting the tendril in a single slash, it leaks out sap as It recedes back into the plant.
Backing away, he watches the plant heal back up right before his eyes, briefly glowing before returning to normal.

"Well that didn't work out, strange how it could heal like that. I wonder what is happening inside it." Pulling off his pack Alexander looks at the several items and decides to see if using a torch would help, some plants do open up at the presence of heat. If nothing else maybe he can use it to keep the vines off. With that plan he lights a torch before going in to another attempt to get his sister out, this time by making the pod open by the heat of the fire, but careful not to actually burn it since he doesn't know if it is flammable.
Fire held close, he could see the plant’s tissue grow translucent, letting him see the shadowy outline of his sister floating in some sort of liquid substance. There was also a tendril leading up to her mouth, as if to keep her breathing...
Touching his hand against it, Alexander could feel the pulse-it was a heartbeat, the heartbeat of his sister. Gliding across the surface, he felt the seams, four, in total. However, the more he examined it, the more he could sense that this pod was not merely a cage, and had another purpose...
The more he examines the pod the more he realizes that it might be connected to Zoe in some way, he can feel her heart beat which shouldn't be possible if she was just trapped inside. This left him with a dilemma since he could very well harm her if he tried cutting her out. "What should I do, just forget ahead and try cutting the pod open, stand and wait, or something else?" He stands for a couple minutes just feeling his sister's steady heartbeat, if nothing else she doesn't appear awake or frightened, and thinks over his options. Amusingly as he does the vines and tendrils appear to be okay leaving him alone as he is not hurting the pod, and possibly his sister, a thought he winces at, "If you felt that, sorry sis."
Deciding violence might not be the best answer he decides to walk around the room and examine the other plants and the rest of the chamber to see if he might find something that might help him open the pod.

As he examined the other pods, Alexander found them to be empty, without heartbeat as they lay dormant. Apparently, Nairi had only just captured his sister. He also noticed that the central tree trunk, on closer examination, seemed to be connected to all of these pods by roots, and the one connected to Zoe's had a glowing green root. It seemed that this was the source of the healing he had seen.
Cyrna leans in close to the glowing root, obviously filled with nature and/or life energy, and wonders if he can cut it, it had healed the pod rather easily and he was wary of causing more harm by releasing energy like that. As a precaution he kneels next to it and tries to sense how much power is flowing through it and if he should risk slicing it.
Kneeling down, he can sense that not only is several times thicker than the pod's tissue, it also is carrying a fair amount of power. It seems like whatever is happening to his sister in the pod, this was the root cause.
Unsurprisingly the root appears to be what is keeping the pod holding his sister, the problem is he is not sure if cutting it is the right thing or not, it felt very much like she is connected to the pod somehow and cutting it could actually kill her and he would rather her be changed somehow rather than dead, a part of him couldn't imagine being without her. With his inner thoughts in turmoil he goes back over to his sister's pod and puts his hand on it before leaning his head against it, "If you can hear or sense me in their Zoe, now would be a good time to give me a push or sign one way or another. Should I cut that vine or possibly kill you or wait for this pod to be done with whatever it is doing?"
As soon as he finished his speech, he suddenly saw the pod begin to glow-apparently, whether he wanted it or not, something was going to happen in there, specifically to his sister. He could feel it grow warm, a sudden rush of heat. He could feel it begin to split open, as sap dripped out from the pod as it began to slowly peel.
As the pod unpeels fully, a rush of sap spills out, while the figure inside, released from the vine, collapses to her knees. With tea green plant-like skin and nipples like the buds of a flower, her body still soaked, Zoe was finally finished with her transformation into a dryad, with her brother as witness.
Zoe didn't seem to react at first, as Alexander hugged her. Feeling his brotherly affection, however, she simply hugged him back, as she said, "Al-Alex...I...yes...I just...am feeling a bit odd...I can't remember what happened but...I'm glad you're here with me, and that's what matters."
Gently helping her to her feet he talks softly to her, "You were taken by some plant creature, apparently a pet of the dryad in this area, and taken from the village. The militia decided it was too dangerous to anyone after you and essentially considered you lost. As soon as they informed me I rushed home to grab my prepared hunting gear and came after you. Ran into a Nightmare and a helpful slime-girl before getting here and it took me a while to find this chamber. Unfortunately it by the time I got here you were already in the pod and I came to the conclusion it would be too dangerous to try and cut you out or destroy the pod, so I don't think you're human anymore." As he speaks he becomes more aware of his sister's body pressed against his and remembers she is naked. Gently parting from her after he gets her standing he pulls out a spare shirt from his pack and hands it to her, along with the cloth he was using around his mouth earlier to help her wipe off, with a faint blush, "Here you probably want to clean up and put this on, oh and your sword is over here, though your bow is broken. How do you feel?"

As she listened to his story, Zoe considered his words, interested to hear what he had to say. She was not only attentive, but invested in his tale, eager to hear how her brother had been while she had been in this pod.
After he finished, she nodded, taking the cloth and wiping herself off. "I guess a little bit greener than I'm used to being, but otherwise, I suppose I'm fine," she said as she got up, putting on the shirt. "So, I guess I'm a dryad now that this has happened," she said, as she looked back at her brother. "Hopefully, that won't be a problem."

"I don't think I have ever said anything against demi-humans and besides you're my sister, the person I care for the most in the world, there is nothing that she or anyone could have done that would make me hate and leave you," as if to reassure her he hugs her again, touching his forehead to hers, "You know I would rather have the same thing happen to me rather than be separated from you, so don't go thinking you are going to go anywhere without me." He separates again and picks up her sword, the only part of her gear still usable, before handing it to her. "Feel ready to try and leave this place?"
"Yeah," she says, nodding as she takes the blade. "I don't want to stay around any longer."
(Want to timeskip to the village or no?)

"Okay, let me lead, oh and if we run into a slime-girl named Ora, don't attack her." Alexander takes thr lead as the two make their way out of the cave and back into the forest to go back home, though he does wonder what the reaction from the rest of the village will be.
(I am good with a time skip.)

By the time the two returned to the edge of the woods, it was already the middle of the day. The sun shined over the village as they walked out-but it seemed that no one was there to greet them.
Zoe, leaning against a tree, asked her brother, “hey, so, now that we’ve got back to town, do you think you should get me some pants? This shirt isn’t exactly covering everything, and while I bet some people wouldn’t mind, I think in general it’s a bad idea to walk around with your pussy out while walking about town.”

"Yeah, let me get our house and grab a pair, didn't expect to need those and I didn't really pause to gather things. Here," he hands her his pack, "There should be a blanket in there if you replaced the one we used a couple weeks ago. I'll be right back." He then jogs into village to the house their parents had bought when they arrived two decades earlier, thankful that it is on the edge of the village, and once there grhe quickly gets a full set of Zoe's clothes into a spare sack and then runs back out to where he left her.
As she finished getting dress, Zoe smiled. “Thanks,” she said, getting up on her feet. “Now, brother, how about we get ourselves something to drink?” she asked as she started walking. “I’m feeling thirsty.”
"You sure you don't want to go home and recover? I think we still have some of that honey liquor and some cider at the house." Despite the question and apparent reluctance, Alexander follows his sister with a bit of relief, the take charge attitude showing that his sister was still the same regardless of her physical transformation.
Stopping in her tracks, she turned around and put a hand on her brother’s shoulder, gripping it firmly. “Alex,” she stated, “my brother, that is a great fucking idea and something I will definitely do.”
She then shrugged before turning around and walking in the direction of their house. “Besides, I think I should learn more about what I can do as a dryad and stuff; you’re probably the only one in town who knows much about magic and monsters anyway.”

"True, though I never thought my knowledge would be used for something like this. I will have to open some of the books at home but I think I have one on monsters with nature aspects, particularly plant and insect monsters." They talk a bit more as they go, Zoe teasing him about his encounter with the slime-girl, though acting a bit jealous as well, and Alexander joking how the first thing she wants to do after being captured is get a drink, "Though that might also be your new dryad nature coming through, maybe you are dehydrated?"
Eventuality they get to their home without encountering anyone, a benefit of the their house being on the edge of the village even if it means they usually don't have company. After entering Alexander reminds his sister where the drinks are and requests a glass of the honey liquor before he goes to his study, really a small library at this point that is probably worth more than the house, and spends several minutes searching for books containing information on plant monsters and nature magic, eventuality he finds three books that seem to be what he is looking for so he takes them and heads back down to the sitting room. There he finds Zoe has not only made drinks, bringing the bottles to pour more, but also made two small salads with pieces of left over chicken added in, "At least she didn't try to cook this time," he shudders in memory of the last time she made a casserole. He also notices that his sister looks to be part way through her glass of cider.
Getting Zoe's attention he explains his finds, "Looks like your transformation didn't make you vegetarian, though I doubt you will need nearly the amount of meat you did prior, thanks for the meal. I did find some books that might be of interest to us, first is 'Malloy's Guide to Forest Creatures' by the Explorer Talia Malloy which is the one I thought about first that includes insect and plant monsters and even has a large chapter dedicated to dryads. Secondly, we have a small book I picked up recently called 'Walking Forests: Introduction to Nature Magic' by Glade Warden Aila Nairn. I haven't read it yet, it came with a bundle of books a trader was desperate to sell to free up room in his wagon. Lastly we have 'Richard's Almanac for Small Growers' by Richard Benson, a book on gardening that is pretty useful and might help you understand how some of whatever's abilities you have work." He then lays the books down on the table and takes a seat next to Zoe and takes a sip of the sweet liquor in his glass, enjoying the smoothness of it going down and the growing warmth it sets off before starting on his salad. "Which one do you want to start with?"

“Malloy’s Guide,” Zoe answered, before belching, her breath smelling of alcohol. “Ugh, sorry; I suppose that’s one more thing being a dryad doesn’t keep from happening.”
She then took another sip, going slower this time. “So, what’s it got to say?”
