She had a surprisingly long time to run through several potential scenarios in her head -- and then suddenly Trunks was holding onto her. Carrying her, in fact, in a way she had literally never been carried. It DID feel like he was saving her, damsel-in-distress style, and she scowled at that idea.

But no. She wasn't being fair. If he'd watched her back and blocked a blow at her flank in combat, she wouldn't consider that a 'rescue'; it's part of being a team in combat. This was a different situation, but she just had to think of it in those terms and put her pride out of the way.

Once she did that... the sensation of being carried like this hit her all the harder. Relying on someone else's strength, entirely -- she actually flushed a little red at the thought.
