( he got damian to snap out of it, which is what was important. and empty promises they may be, but jon certainly means them when he's saying them. he wouldn't be able to say them if he hadn't, with the truth event intermingled with the memories. jon is more than willing to do what it takes to get damian back. he'll do whatever damian wants, until damian pushes it too far. which of course, damian usually does.
another deep breath in, and jon nods his head, rolls his weight forward to get onto his knees and moves his arm back around damian's waist, holding onto him tight to keep him from falling as he picks him back up. it'd be a little awkward given damian is just barely shorter than him, but jon's superior strength more than makes up for it. ) Okay. To the roof.
( his other arm moves under damian's knees, shifts him into a bridal carry to keep his legs from dragging before he's taking off, running at full speed towards the stairs and up them. it's only once he's gotten up through the door, up towards the ledge that leans over the garden's maze that he stops and drops back down.
sits on the ledge still holding onto damian. jon's grip is noticeably looser once he's down, though; he's not holding onto him to restrain him, just holding onto him to keep damian from falling. if damian moves, jon's more than happy to let go of him if that's what he wants. but if he doesn't move away, jon will just go back to stroking his hair. )
