[Ah. Honourable people. Ren knows more than enough of those to know that Rhus isn't going to budge on that point, so he doesn't bother arguing it, instead focusing on sending out another bolt and smashing the shield into nothing. The freed worker slowly starts to sink, and Ren heads over to loop an arm around their shoulders before they do.]

This one's lighter than the one you're carrying, so I'll be okay. [He pulls one of the person's arms around his own shoulder and pushes him upright, heading back towards Rhus. Ren might not be built very impressively, but he seems to be fine with the load. He might just pretend to collapse when they get outside.]

Let's keep going, then. They're both in pretty bad shape... [The one they rescued earlier seems maybe slightly better, but neither of them is going to be helped by hesitating to find the exit now that they've got a second person.]
