Re: Torrance Station: Business Sector
Geoff had given her a brief reassuring smile, though he knew that his worried expression made it hard for anything to be reassuring on his face. Still, he wanted to reassure her as much as possible. He also wished he could reassure himself, but that was much harder to do. "We're gettin' outta here together no matter what.", he murmured as he reluctantly released her hand and let her get to climbing.
He alternated between looking behind them and up to her as she climbed, not wanting to take his eyes from her, but knowing that he had to watch for the Reavers. Still, he was ready when she finally got the vent cover off, grabbing it as she passed it down and letting it down to the floor. He watched as she climbed in and then came out with her hand out to help others up. He nodded to that and quickly moved to Diego.
"You first, boss man. You know the way to go.", he said as he almost bodily pushed Diego up to climb and grasp Wei-Li's hand. When he knew that he was up, he had started to move to climb up as well, but he paused at the sound of the bawling kid. He looked to the mother and child and frowned to himself. He knew he shouldn't worry about anybody but himself, but the captain had risked his life to save the two. There was no way Geoff could make that risk for nothing. So he moved over to the mother and child and reached a hand out to them.
"C'mon. Y'all first. We don't got a lot o' time so hurry.", he said urgently as he began to try and help the woman up too. It was stupid to do this, he knew, but it was the right thing to do and, damn him for a fool, he wanted to do the right thing for once.
