[All her life Sieglinde has been trained to narrow her focus. To shut out everything else but the problem at hand, and up until just now, she had been focused only on the other young woman in front of her. But at the reminder... she pulls away, looking out and over their surroundings and taking it in with a silent mix of awe, confusion, and insecurity.
But she cannot allow any of those to interfere. She has... to go. To get out of here. And here is an offer... and as demeaning as it is to clamber on a back when she is used to being carried more professionally...
She takes what she has, and weakly climbs on, clasping her hands in front so she doesn't fall off even though she's not even strong enough to hold her own weight up well.

Thank you...
