Shadow nodded to the woman, then scooted forward to gather Pippin up into his arms.
“Alright, Pi… Pepper,” he told her, giving a reassuring smile. “I’m going to pick you up and carry you to someplace a lot more comfortable, okay?”
He hadn’t missed the way she had squeezed his hand a moment ago, so he was very cautious and kept his smiling gaze on her face as he slid one arm under her knees and the other under her shoulders (keeping his big hand as best he could against her shoulder to help hold it steady) and supporting her head with his elbow until he could get it settled against his chest.
“There, alright?” he asked, waiting for the woman to start toward the manor.
