[His free arm moved and the sword with it; the pair of them vanished in a rush of motion and the firelight-warm glow of magic, reappearing nearer the ground with Ardyn cutting through the last creature he'd been in the middle of fighting when they'd all been so rudely interrupted. From there the blade left his hand once more, the following motion a shorter one with no expected sudden stop--they simply halted easily, Ardyn still carrying Ignis in one arm.]
Are you hurt? I'll not be putting you down until I'm assured you can stand without falling.
