[ He wasn't exactly expecting a serious answer to his question, so it's hard for him to sort out a response to that right away; for the moment, he nods, filing that bit away. He supposes it's a desperate times, desperate measures thing, even if he's still at a loss for the mechanics of a fish-girl getting around on land. Some sort of spell...? ]
Don't mention it. [ He sees the hesitance, but she is saying yes and given she is a literal half-fish out of water, it's probably safe to put that down to the awkwardness of the situation and not the solution. The solution is perfectly logical. So he's going to kneel closer to the ground and use the offered arm to guide her into a better position for him to lift her in his arms... with a slight pause at the one hand going under the tail because he's not sure if that's going to be slippery and hard to hold or not--seems like he can get a good grip on it though. ]
...I'm Cloud. [ Because maybe she would like to know who the stranger about to cart her off is. Her weight's not an issue at all, thanks to mako enhancement, so he starts to lift her off the ground. ]
if she can breathe out of water he wouldn't even think salinity might be a problem so yes XD
