I was thinking of a different sort of assistance where you could sit and relax on your way back.

Do you have any aversion to dragons?

Not personally?

Excellent.

Then just stay there for a moment and I shall help you up.

[ And there is the rustle of something moving around. Something with scales. ]

I'm afraid it might be a little chilly considering your current predicament.

?? I'm not going anywhere, don't worry. And the cold doesn't bother me?

[This is fine, if confusing.]

[ This is fine. ]

I'm going to take your hand now.

[ Zhongli announces and gently takes one of Nyx's wrist to press against the side of well--- a dragon. Just like Zhongli promised. ]

Alri... ... ...should I be greeting someone else?

Hmmm?

Oh no. I see him as more of an extension of myself than anything else.

[ The dragon crouches low to the ground and then Zhongli nonchalantly just picks up Nyx and places him on top. ]

If you say s...o?

[Nyx is in no position to complain. His hands start to wander briefly before he realizes that might Be Weird and they get folded in his lap...ish, sitting up is also a bit hard since it falls under "upright".]

[ Oh dear... ]

Would lying down be better?

[He may be kind of draping sideways but don't mind that,]

Um... if it's alright for me to hold on to somewhere [????] this should be fine? Probably.

Please. Recline as you feel most comfortable. He will make sure that you do not fall.

It's- not a big problem if I do, so he(?) doesn't need to worry about it too much.

[Nyx will just ...attempt... to hold on, kind of, while draped as elegantly across a dragon as one can manage when blind, unable to stay upright, and dressed in wet yami-kawaii. That is to say, not very, but look.]

[ Everyone is doing their besto.

And so the trio(?) start their way back to the dorms, and the dragon does tilt to make sure that Nyx doesn't go sliding off one side. Still cold scales though (minus a few fur fluffs). ]

You mentioned Izanagi at the game. Was that all of sensitIV that was present?

[At least Nyx doesn't mind the cold so much. He'll keep an iron grip on these chilly scales so nobody has to feel bad about him falling off, hopefully that isn't uncomfortable for the dragon.]

Lucifel was there too... it was us three and two from LiliS together, for some reason.

[*Lucifel's player is recovering from surgery and was ALSO gamerunning and understandably needed to dip out so that sIV's current location Shall Not Be Mentioned ic]

[[ Understood o7 ]]

SensitIV and LiliS...

Yes, I heard from Doctor that Heart Soldier was also paired with ZRAEL. I imagine that only lead to even more difficult choices to be made.

If anything, it narrowed down our possible choices, since every unit has another they're allied with or such. ...Not that it stopped them from bickering the whole time.

Ah--- it would be too convenient if you and LiliS bore the same alliances.

...well, it's over now. Best not to linger on it and give our "audience" more entertainment.

Then I shall wait to express my further thoughts once we are within the walls of sensitIV.

?

[Was he not going to just get dumped in the hotel lobby or thereabouts, IS THE DRAGON GOING TO GET ON THE ELEVATOR? Nyx has several new things to consider in this moment.]

[ It would seem poor manners to leave Nyx into the lobby to drag himself back to the door proper.

Guess we'll see if the dragon fits when they get to the elevator.

(That's probably going to be a no, though...) ]

...ah, I forgot to thank you both. Thank you for the assistance.

Oh, think nothing of it. You have assistance us some many times after terrible games. It seems but a fraction of the kindness you express toward the rest of us.

Pardon me for a moment, though. I believe you will have to lean on me the rest of the way.

[ As he places a hand on Nyx's forearm. ]

Allow me to help you down. It appears the dragon will not fit.

[So it DOESN'T fit...]

Oh, that's fine, of course.

[Nyx can't stay upright for very long, but that doesn't mean he can't move at all... but ALSO that doesn't mean he isn't going to let Zhongli help him off because look, he may as well. Down he goes.]

[ It does not fit. Or the noodle dragon could fit but Nyx would not want to ride a dragon pretzel.

He keeps one hand on each of Nyx's forearms for balance, waiting for him to get his feet beneath him before slowing backstepping into the elevator. ]
