Though this wasn't a life or death situation, and Hemming could fairly easily make another kite, the world seemed to react now in the same way that it had when the two wolves had rescued the jellyfish. The sky tucked around them and the kite, making it seem as if that was all that existed. The light wind that rustled the fresh green leaves of the tree was the only cargo from an outside world.
Feeling the female's hands on his shoulders and hearing her vocal signal, Hemming bent his legs, leaning down to grab Anu just below her knees. With all the strength he could muster, he heaved her upwards. She was small and light, but his thin body still had a bit of trouble. The branch should be around her torso now, though, and Hemming hoped that it would be easy for her to swing a leg onto it. Having found a good balance, he loosened his grasp around her calves, pressing his elbows into his hips to help support them. He would have to do something about his scrawny arms. Years of being a bookworm wasn't any help. |
