[she startles just a little when he lightning mcqueens his way through the park, but it's fine. he might catch her limping just a bit; she straightens when he zooms right up to her.
I don't need to be carried. [her feathers are a little ruffled by this, but - she understands he's trying to help, and so she shifts her weight and evens out her expression entirely.]
[the little if you caught me makes her make a huffy noise, halfway between amusement and indignation. wow she's so fast (her ankle is borked) she's so fast]
Thank you. [genuinely.] It's a problem easily fixed, and I'll... I'll be prepared next time.
One team likely has more points than the rest, now. It'll be necessary to catch up. [she doesn't know if she wishes that were the case or not. her feelings are complicated on it, in a way she isn't sure how to express.]
Do you think the players at the end of the game who don't win will be erased?

I'm alright. Are you? The doors locked.

I'm fine - where are you hurt?
[JUST IGNORES HER SAYING SHE'S ALRIGHT]

My ankle, but it doesn't hurt.
... I was locked inside. [and she did not! like that!]
no subject
.... I understand.
[he gets it. he really does. and - ]
Please ask one of the many healers to see to you today. I can carry you to them, if that'd help.

I will ask Nahri. She'll say yes.

[ . . . though he'll tilt his head a little bit at the shift, and ease back a little]
... I didn't mean to doubt you, Shen-san. Just worried. I'm sure you can still throw me into a building if you caught me.

still, he just huffs, a little bit of his own exasperation showing]
... yeah. Guess we can't count out that there's gonna be a next time, huh? Even if I wish that wasn't the case...

[that they would also just end up losing the same as everyone else... he hums faintly.]
If we catch the right person, then that team will be down one more teammate to generate more points over the next couple weeks though.
Who knows if Erasing someone will make up the difference for that loss...
