At the very last second, of course, to let him know that it was her idea and not his. She rumbled a sly reptilian chortle as he straightened up and then got to his feet, wrinkling his nose at Sah as he offered him a hand up.
"C'mon, Jester. The heat down here is clearly makin' you light-headed. Let's go home."
