HARPER
It's sure to be a decently long walk back to the clinic, and Harper eyes Phoebe's knees critically, unable to stop old habits from rearing their heads. "Would you like me to carry you instead?" Setting her on his back would be more than easy enough to do, he's not quite sure from his angle how badly her knees are burned. Not like he's going to kneel down and invade her privacy just to find out.
She clings to his hands and he lets her with a smile, a silent I'm not going anywhere. "If you can get your knees in good shape, I'll teach you some flips. You'll need as much flexibility as you can get." Stiffness is the worst thing to carry into learning gymnastics after all. Precisely why stretching is so important to eradicate even regular body tension. If her legs weren't in proper shape, Harper wouldn't put her through the hoops.

lord don't let me break this, let me hold you lightly
give me arms to pray with instead of ones that hold too tightly
