[ like that, Rom!! Not that Messmer gives him any answer. Instead, he simply moves ahead with the plan. Leaning down slightly, he wraps both hands around Rom's waist without fanfare, careful not to prick him with a sharp nail, and proceeds to lift him up as if he were nothing more than a long, goth kitten. The strength to throw him is certainly there, as Rom feared, but it's well-tempered, and Messmer's surprisingly gentle as he holds Rom up to his shoulder. If he chooses to step off, Messmer will let him, though he continues holding up one hand near him for him to hold for balance. ]
