Once you're out, they can't take you back. Not legally- and I won't let her come for you again.

( jinx takes a step back, but doesn't let go of his hand- if anything, she encourages him to follow by putting her other hand over the one she's holding, and takes another, smaller step.

she'd spend as much time as she could reassuring him if they had it- but the guards will have found her blocked doors soon, might have noticed her ride out already. if he wasn't so timid maybe she could afford to be a little more hasty, but it's like she's trying to remove a lit match with a room full of gas between her and the exit- if she wants to get there with the flame still going, she's got to be careful. )

I can protect you. I may not look it, but I'm pretty tough.
