[ He doesn't let his guard down even when Kaeya's shoulders relax, whole body tense as he carefully takes Aerith and cradles her in his arms. At least there's the very real threat of danger surrounding them to excuse his current rigidity. ]
I saw. I'll keep to safer paths when taking her back.
[ Safer paths for him anyway, away from the Citadel and back towards the Pleroma side. He still barely has an idea what each of the Pleroma are capable of doing and who he ought to be seeking out in case of an emergency, but easier to find the person he needs when he's further away from the Citadel (and the Regent) rather than closer.
Another quick shift of his arms to make sure Aerith is secure and then he's turning around, briefly heading in the direction of the Citadel for about five seconds before he starts swinging around, his pace quickening.
Nothing wrong with that, except he's definitely going In the wrong direction now. ]
