For a time, she did not move; perhaps she needed to catch her breath, or so he guessed, based on how deeply she seemed to breathe. With this assumption, it did not come as a surprise to him that she would ask for his assistance getting back to her quarters. "It is no inconvenience," he assured her, because he considered the situation as much his fault as her own. "I apologize for allowing us to get so far astray." The way she clung to him made him feel guilty, as though he had put her in a situation where she was yet more helpless. "Only give me a moment – I will try not to cause you discomfort."
He knelt, one arm around her waist and another going underneath her legs so that he could hold her much as he had when he'd first found her. He couldn't tell if she was shivering from the cold or from pain, but he hoped that holding her against his chest would resolve the issue either way. He checked that she had not dropped her shawl, or any other such thing, held her as gently as he could so as not to put undue pressure on anything.
Taking a few steps back toward her room, he hesitated. "Is this comfortable?" he asked. "Was there anything else you wanted to do before we return?" Perhaps she wanted to see the view from elsewhere, something more interesting than what she could see from her room.
