"C'mon. I'll carry you th' rest of the way," he promises Inigo as he shifts under his arm, pulling him slowly to hitch his friend onto his back in a piggyback ride.

"Get the door?" he asks Tidus instead, nodding towards the steps. That's gonna be a stretch. Deep breath again, and Esteban is ready, bracing Inigo's arm around a shoulder and holding him up as best he can.
