Oh boy, she was heavier than he'd thought she would be. Hyperion held in a sigh. This was going to be fine, but knights in shining armor didn't groan under the weight of their rescued damsels or stagger back to the castle so he was going to have to tough it. He deserved this anyway for botching the lay up. If he wasn't such a screw up they'd be flirting over a tasty meal and laughing about the totally innocent, harmless accidental snaring. Hyperion deserved every step of this journey.
Dutifully he turned towards the mangroves and started forward with slow, careful steps that were that way because he wanted to be careful with his passenger and totally not because he was a top heavy lightweight struggling under his load. Her cry brought his screeching to a halt and very nearly caused him to rear back like a startled horse. For a split second he thought something was wrong and then she explained. The ducks. Dang, he'd been hoping to leave them behind. Then it would be a simple matter of running back and snagging them before she remembered. Ah well, she promised to share, which he took as a good sign. "Oh, right," he said with a small laugh. "I forgot you had those. And really, there's no need to apologize. It really is the least I can do."
He staggered back to the ducks and gingerly picked them up. Around them, he said, "I' carry 'em so you ken give diresshions, eh?" It would also save him from having to do too much talking. His mouth had a way of getting away from him and getting him into more trouble. "To da ma'groves 'ou said?"
