[ Ryoko stares his hand down for a long moment with what she thinks is not an unreasonable amount of apprehension. But for every second she wastes debating this, the bomb is ticking further and further down and she realizes she doesn't exactly have any good choices to make in this situations. Just a variety of bad ones. ]
Fine. But if anything happens to me, you will be in trouble.
He uses that hand to pull her towards him and carries her under one arm like a sack of potatos. Trust him, it's optimal for.......making sure she doesn't move too much so he doesn't drop her. Then she really will die! Wahoo.
If she has any objections, he's going to ignore her as he walks over to a nearby table and kicks the legs off of it, before dragging it back to the window.
YOU WANNA KNOW WHY.
I'LL TELL YOU WHY.
BECAUSE HE'S JUMPING OUT THE WINDOW WITH HER UNDER ONE ARM.
HE'S THROWING THAT TABLE FLAT AGAINST THE BUILDING AS THEY FALL AND USING THE LIMITED FUNCTIONALITY OF HIS JET TO SLAM BOTH FEET AGAINST IT.
HE'S RIDING THAT THING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.
[ It takes until she's being dangled from under his arm like a stray cat being brought in from the streets before Ryoko realizes what's going on. Or she takes a good, solid guess at what's going on because really. Who on god's green earth could have predicted where this ended up going.
By some miracle, and with what she thinks should be considered a relatively heroic level of willpower, Ryoko manages not to scream. Mostly because she's got her jaw welded shut to make sure her teeth don't snap closed on her tongue.
Once they actually land, though? That's a whole other can of worms. For now, she's just going to get a death grip on him and try her level best to not die. ]
[For a killer robot built only to kill, he displays a surprising amount of skill riding this makeshift snowskate buildingboard. Even as the section above them explodes, he zips and swerves around any incoming debris or obstacles as if he were metal tony hawk.
He doesn't ride it until the end, though. He spots a falling steel beam ahead of them and kicks off of the building, hits the side of the beam to grind against it, then kicks off the edge in order to leap from it onto the building adjacent the one that just got demolished. They slide along the roof of the building and fall just a short distance to the ground below, the table...well, honestly, it slides a few feet before falling apart but he breaks into a short jog as that happens before slowing to a stop.]
[ Ryoko doesn't respond right away. She just dangles from under his arm like a particularly pathetic stray cat brought in from the rain. If she closes her eyes very tight and counts each breath as she takes it, she can gradually make the spinning around her slow down. Really, she's grateful that he's still carrying her because she's pretty sure she's not physically capable of standing on her own two legs right now.
She swallows. Her saliva feels thick. Miraculously, she does not vomit. ]
Speak for yourself. [ Her voice is hoarse. ] I'm not entirely sure I survived.
Your breathing, heart rate and temperature are all elevated to acceptable levels for an organic, given what occurred a moment ago. I do not believe you will suffer any long term serious illness or injury.
[Aren't you glad, Ryoko? It's not like he's a doctor or anything, but still. Robo-sensors are an amazing thing.]
But I believe the most common form of advice given the situation would be.............."take your time".
Regardless of whether or not you prepared yourself, the outcome would have been the same. It would not have affected my performance.
[Yeah, that's how he's choosing to justify that. She had nothing to do with their daring escape after all.
He's rude.]
Besides which, we were under a strict time limit. [He will carefully put her to her feet now, no more cat dangling.] I would rather do what must be done than ask permission, when the outcome was agreeable to you regardless.
[ The instant her feet are back under her, Ryoko stoops down so she can bury her face in her knees, purely because if she opens her eyes right now and sees the world still whirling, that really might be the end of her. A headache has started pounding behind her eyes and though it's only a dull pain now, she doesn't want to give it any chance to start digging its claws in. ]
It's preferable to dying, at least. [ She doesn't bother lifting her face to answer, so her voice comes out a little muffled. God, her ears are still ringing. ] How far from the building did we land?
