[HE SHOULD BE USED TO THIS, but sometimes she still catches him unaware.]
Hope? I'm sure we got this, yo!
[Is this blind faith? Yes. Yes, it is. But he takes her hands, gripping tightly as she begins pulling. He kicks his legs even if he's not sure how it will work, yet somehow it does! That and Futaba's leverage and support seems to be doing the trick. And maybe the melted snow on the sill is helping too.]
Keep goin', Shorty! I think we almost got it.
[And it does! Beat practically pops out of the window and, unfortunately, onto Futaba. Sorry Futaba, but your clothes might be a little damp now, on top of Beat's weight on you.]
[LEGGY KICKIN': WORKS, she's remembering that for later. Something something SCIENCE or whatever. What she didn't account for was Beat suddenly sliding through the window a little too quickly and them landing on the floor.
Well, at least the food was saved! So, little victories and all.]
Beat... I like you and all... but you're too heavy...!
Shit! [And he scrambles off of her, getting up on all fours. He looks sheepishly at her for a moment while she's still on the floor.] Sorry 'bout that.
[But his expression shifts, and he chuckles as his lips pull into a large, lopsided grin.]
[Oh, he knows that Look. But her flailing only causes him to laugh even more.]
Whatchu talkin' 'bout? You helped loads. Can't a guy glaze his girl?
[He flashes her a grin before pushing himself off the floor, and extending a hand to help her back up as well. If Futaba takes it, she'll notice it's still a little cold from the weather outside.]
Tadaima.
[He greets her in their native tongue, a small habit he picked up soon after she joined the crew and her move to Hero's Rest.]
I guessssss. Maybe just dating you means I've gotten stronger somehow. Strength by osmosis? Is that even a thing?
[Oh, he's awfully cold... time for some warm food and to shove him near a fire or something to warm up, but at least her hands are warm. Guess he could just hold them too!! As Futaba is standing up, she'll give him a little grin and respond in kind.]
Okaeri, but no more going out in the snow, okay? You're super cold, damn.
Yeah, didn't think it was gonna snow like that, you know?
[He's definitely not letting go of her hands when they're slowly warming him up. In fact, he takes her hands places them on either side of his face, holding them in place for a few short moments. It's going to take a bit to get him fully warm, especially with his damp clothes, but it's a start.]
