For a while, he's too busy saying his last prayers to pay much attention to how his travel companions are doing...but after a while, Heather's charging around gets a bit hard to ignore, especially when she nearly crashes into him for the fifteenth time.

"Heather--" He peels himself away from Solid and gets shakily to his feet. "You're going to fall if you keep doing that--"

...is all he can manage before a sudden jostle sends him tumbling down with a shout, causing him to curl his knees to his chest and to try and not scream like a little girl and lose what little manly pride he has left.
