jim he would literally rather you leave him for the bouldersnakes than carry him, something that is perhaps faintly reflected in the way he shifts on his feet at that statement, but he doesn't voice an objection outright — instead focusing on the task at hand. he does step towards jim's voice, head canted faintly like a bird to listen to him. if he had the chakra to summon a crow this would certainly be an easier endeavour, but frankly if he did anything more intensive than enhancing his grip at the moment jim really would be carrying him.

below, he can hear the bouldersnakes arguing about how to get them down off the roof, or which of them might be able to climb after them. they've obviously crawled all over this town, it's only a matter of time before one of them recalls that there's roof access two buildings down.

despite the admission of blindness, he still moves with surety and grace, and stops just abreast of him.


If you jump first, I can listen to your steps and make the necessary calculations.
