Ryan clutched his hand close to his chest. He pouted a little bit. He just wanted to help him. He started to walk away every so often taking a few glances back at the young man. It was amusing to watch him try in vain to get off the ground only to succumb to gravity again. It was hard to take his ranting serious when he just face planted the ground.

With a heavy sigh Ryan spun on his heels. It just wasn’t in his nature to leave some one in need with out help. He returned to the young man crouching down beside him. He watched him again. When he had lifted himself off the ground enough, Ryan wedged one of his arms under the boy, tightening his grasp on his chest. He reached around with his other arm grabbing his side. In one nimble movement he pulled himself to his feet bringing the invalid with him. He smiled. “There you go…” He slowly let him go on the side, still holding his front hand in place not wanting him to fall again.
