[He sucks in a sharp breath when she snarls at him, eyes wide and prepared for her to just lunge toward him and try to take a bite out of his throat, but then she doesn't. It's Emily again, and he gathers his determination again to start pulling her back toward the direction of home.]
Okay. Okay, we're going to get back home, it's gonna be okay.
[It's half to himself and half to her as he walks as quickly as he can, turned awkwardly to keep a grip on her and his knee protesting, while trying not to just drag her; she's obviously having trouble walking and it makes sense why. She's trying to fight off the wendigo instincts, and she's going through that struggle so she doesn't kill him, which he really appreciates.
They didn't make it that far at all into the city, so it isn't a long way home; it only takes a few seconds of walking for their house to come into sight in the distance, and being able to see their goal helps. Hopefully it'll help Emily too, even if she can't actually see it.]
We're almost there, Em. Just a few minutes longer.
