Maybe he would have constructed a better, more functional harness for Steve, or he could manufacture some kind of lever, or set a fire for more help or something. As it is, even though Quentin knows someone is coming down to the where he's bending sore-spined trying to haul Steve up, his whole body jerks at the touch on top of his head. Prepared for everything, as if.

That jerky gaze sweeps Billy's arms and chest and thighs, back up to his face. ] He's half-frozen. I'm trying to get him up, but I'm not built like that. Maybe with the two of us...
