[Liem’s annoyance with the blindfold requirement of this activity is in large part to do with his desire to avoid accidentally dropping or (gods forbid) injuring this teenage girl—regardless of her own willingness to volunteer as a human weight. The possibility that they’ll end up looking foolish ranks decidedly low on his list of priorities; he’s completed his fair share of physical training in the past, and sometimes looking foolish is a necessity. But if he’s going to be carrying young ladies around obstacle courses, he would much prefer to do it with his eyes open.
Well, his reflexes are pretty good. If they do end up tripping over a hurdle or something, he’s confident he can at least avoid falling onto her. But for now he’ll be optimistic and shoot for making it to the end without any accidents. Responding to the touch on his arm, Liem turns his blindfolded head towards Gray as if to look at her.]
Put your arm around my shoulders, [he suggests.
He widens his stance and bends his knees slightly, both to get a bit more stability and to make it easier for her to reach, then gestures toward himself with one hand.]
Once I have a hold of you, you can hop up so I can get your legs.
