He grabs hold of Maine's arm when it's offered and lets Maine do most of the work of pulling him up. His muscles scream at him for the change in position after so long spent with little movement. He wobbles precariously for a moment, feeling like all of the blood is shifting in his body. and leaving him light-headed.

"You..." he looks between them. "They're not right. Something's wrong with them."
