[Barry may be a big kid, heavier than most boys, but Taako is strong enough to drag him several feet through the sand, away from the ruins of his sand castle. He doesn't want to make it easy for the elf. He's the one who made him cry in the first place!
... But what if he's right? What if he gets in trouble for crying? His mom isn't here to kiss him and make it better. And some adults get real mad when kids cry. What if they think he started it?? He did say some mean things to the elf... who kinda sounds scared of adults coming to find them...
They're gonna get in trouble, aren't they?
Barry relents then, stops fighting Taako as he pulls him away, resigning himself to being abducted. He's too scared and upset to struggle, whimpering and crying as he's dragged through the hot sand.
Getting in trouble with adults is scarier than being kidnapped.]
