That proves a challenge when there's not really any good place within reach to push against aside from Leo. How do snakes do it? But then they normally don't have upper bodies to worry about because it's just...body!

"Monsters and magic and whatever or not, that's...it's no reason to be careless."

"We almost lost you once. I'm not letting some stupid place take you again."
