He'd been prepared of course, to make a break for it on his own strength. Why wouldn't he be? So it'd been every time before, so he was sure it'd be now, even as injured as he was. In fact, the Lalafell had managed to take several steps forward, before the other man just.... reached down and scooped him right up.

Sure there was some pain, yes, but the yelp he gave was less from that, and more due to sheer bewildered surprise, immediately latching onto the arm that held him as the armored giant just absolutely booked it towards the exit, at a pace that seemed more fit for a well trained chocobo rather than, you know... a large hyurian man in full plate mail.

Oh. Okay then. Guess he was along for this ride, you wouldn't hear him complaining about this. Not when he wasn't entirely sure if he'd have been able to make it out on his own two legs.
