Ryoma shook his head, respectfully declining the offer. "You don't need to worry about owing me any favors,"
And that's especially if the favor involved any form of cooking. Setsuna had a bit of a notorious reputation for that, contrary to what she believed that everyone enjoyed her meals. But that's beside the point that none should be doing any favors for a high ranking officer in Corrin's army, and rather he should be the one offering good deeds to his soldiers instead.
"...Ah, there." It took little time for Ryoma to finish slicing through the last of her restraints, the pieces of rope falling to the ground below. Hands were perhaps a little too careful when concerned for Setsuna's safety, the high prince swiftly stepping up and holding firm on the archer's thighs and waist to support her balance, in case of numbness in the legs.
"Can you walk, Setsuna? We should bring you back to your quarters."
"Oh, it's never a worry. It's kind of my job. Serving Lady Hinoka and the royal family." Just because no one ever asked her to didn't mean she couldn't.
Setsuna's legs felt funny when she got back on the ground. She moved to try and shake them out, but was stopped by heavy hands coming to rest on her thighs and hips instead. Setsuna paused. Even through her clothes, she could feel how warm they were. "You have big hands." It felt nice.
Her room? For a second, her mind jumped to the idea of his hands on her like this in the privacy of her room, but she forced herself to shake the thought away. She shouldn't daydream about him while he was right there. She could do that later.
"Oh...one second." Reluctantly, Setsuna pulled herself out of his grip so she could collect all the rope pieces that she could from the trap. It would be bad if someone else got stuck. And rope was always useful to have. She stumbled a bit as she did so, so she felt a lot less bad about hoping he'd put his hands back on her when she came back to him with her hands full of rope. "Okay, my room now."
She started to walk back towards her quarters. Slowly. She stumbled on purpose a few times too.
