[Eight million myriad of gods, he's- Well, okay, he's just turning around but it seems so crazy to her??? Sure, Gonta could lift her in his arms with some effort, but it wasn't a natural or easy position for jinba, who did better hauling their own kind on their back if they were going to do it at all, so Konoha hugs him tighter in instinctual fear of being accidentally dropped even though... okay...

He's probably... got this handled... She can calm down...]

W- Well, you definitely won't, because I'm not touching those weird drinks ever again!

[But... it wasn't so bad to just. Try temporarily. She can admit that. As she still has her face buried in his shoulder and a mild death grip on the back of his shirt, clasping onto one of his arms with a bend of her knees in attempt to rest more naturally in his hold.]

Are... are you sure I'm not still too heavy? Don't hurt your arms...

It's fine. What, were you curious? About being human?

[ She's a little heavy, and also strangling him a tiny bit, but they're supposed to be doing the opposite of this, anyway. He tips her in his arms, anchoring her weight lower on her back — ]

Okay— okay, I'm gonna put you on your feet. You won't fall.

[ —and he has to bend down a little just to set her foot-first on the floor, not wanting to risk too much distance. He hasn't even seen her try to walk yet. And apparently it's not great, judging by her cushioned little quarantine zone. ]

No, it was an accident...

[Resulting from a cafe in town working in collaboration with a certain Warewolf shop, and a centaur who couldn't read the disclaimer on the menu very well. Oops.

But she stops trying to explain herself when he says he's putting her down, instead stiffening up her hips and legs to try and brace herself, wincing in anticipation and weird sensation (not actual pain), when her feet touch the floor.]

I- If I fall, I'm going to take you with me!

[Because she's still got a good grip on his forearms and doesn't seem to be letting go any time soon.]

[ Well, no further clarification needed. Simon knows all about accidents. The last bit of his pre-Prismatica life was one long accident that started with a literal accident, and now every Moonblessed's life is a series of accidents. Scheduled accidents, even.

He doesn't let go of her, holding her across her back with one arm — side-to-side, now, and he has a foot of height on her when her feet touch the ground. He's angling to take one of her hands, leaving the other one gripping him however she wants... except she's holding onto him for dear life with both arms, so he starts trying to work his fingers out of one of her hands....

The thought what if we'd done it like this, as two humans?? jabs him in the animal hindbrain, and he meets it with a resounding SO UM ANYWAY!!!, tuning back in time to hear her warning. Or... her.... ]

Why does that sound like a threat? C'mon, I had to do it. Hold onto my hands.

[ He valiantly attempted it, when he was in her position.

except when it comes to motivating someone to learn to Legs, gardening isn't as compelling of a carrot-on-a-stick as sex. or, well, it wouldn't have been to Simon. ]

[Is side-to-side better than front-to-front? For learning or for avoiding thoughts about how their bodies were matching up again and if anything had happened like this then Simon would have been the one who knew all the right things to do- ?

Well, side-to-side is fine, then!!!!! She can release just one hand as long as he's going to keep one on her back... and she has a death grip on the other one.]

B- Because it is a threat... !

[But alright, she's going to do it... and she starts to put one foot in front of the other, fighting the instinct to move her legs like she did as a jinba, which... decidedly does not work smoothly with human ones.]
