[Grey has enough sense to at least be prepared for Manabu to yelp and panic and cling, but he doesn't expect Manabu to suddenly go limp, and for several moments there Grey winds up panicking, floating in place as he tries to think of a way to check Manabu's pulse while carrying him at the same time.
But he finally notices that Manabu's still breathing, and Grey thanks God that he didn't kill him from sheer shock. Time to finally get out of here.
The flight back is uncomfortable, honestly. Grey's strong, but Manabu's a grown-ass man and quite a load to have to carry all the way to town, even if he's flying at a faster pace than he can walk. The entire time he's having to worry about the state Manabu's in and if anyone might spot them against the night sky.
And it's cold. After about ten minutes of flying, Grey's already chilled, and he's wearing a coat and vest. Manabu must be freezing. Grey will need to get him into a warm bed the instant he's back at his safe house.
Grey does well following the roads back to town, but once he's flying above the city he's stymied. From the above it's... really difficult to properly identify any of the areas. His safe house is in one of Saint Simona's many poor parts of town however, and he spots a neighborhood that looks right eventually.
He takes them down, landing them on the roof of a shabby tenement building. Poor Manabu gets set down on the ground, but once he's dug his phone out of his pocket Grey at least has the decency to strip his coat off and drape it over Manabu.
Right, now how do they get to Ivory Boulevard from here?]
