it was bad; it might have been Latin.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I think it's more dislike of physical activity/the great outdoors than fear of heights. As one of my grad school friends put it, "I prefer to stay on my side of the nature/culture divide, thanks."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I only know TV FBI, but I would assume you're gonna have more physical activity than the average desk monkey. Scully would shake her head sadly.

Hey, it's a made up word, it can mean whatever I want it to mean.

It was in a tree, people. There's, like, bugs and spiders and dirt and god only knows what other icky stuff.

Yeah, good thing there's none of that at ground level.

Thrive to spite them
I'm horrible with heights. I'm on the second floor here, and there are open areas where you can look down to the first floor. Waist high glass and metal walls around the openings, but still it was months before I could look over without getting dizzy.

I don't think Mama Bad Seed would allow dirt or bugs near the tree house. She probably had it steam-cleaned and put astroturf (the new, natural-looking astroturf) over the grass. Other than the random bloodstain I'd guess that tree & treehouse were spotless.

I read it as distaste, not fear.
