[ as shiro settles into place, keith hooks his arms under knees. he doesn't wobble, but it it takes a beat or two before he's used to this new distribution of weight. of course, no sooner than he's gone and experimentally hefted shiro higher up onto his back, there's a terrible joke thrown out there that makes keith snort with laughter. ]

SO what. You're the head and I'm... the arms and legs?

[ not that he actually has use of his arms at the moment. glancing down at shiro's legs straddled around his sides, he gives his best friend's right knee an affectionate rub with his thumb and starts walking down the street towards the adi housing complexes. the town of gloucester is fairly small and quiet -- the latter of which is probably a bit of a mercy as keith grins. ]

Heh. But I guess since you've converged on me, I'm the head.
