[ Be able to do what? Carry him? Tatara’s not making any presumptions about Shizuo’s strength; not nearly. Rather, he’s banking on his own lightness -- the fact that he’s been thrown over shoulders and hauled away with relative ease for most of his adult life, able to be scooped up in one arm by Mikoto.
(Honestly, if he had any knowledge of this man’s strength, he might ask for a Princess Carry instead of a piggyback, as that’s far more comfortable. Be grateful for this ignorance, Shizuo.)
Anyway, with a nod, he gradually eats away all his various nibbles. Hopefully it’ll last him a while, since he’s not so confident about his ability to get out of bed tomorrow after all of this. He’s betting everything that hasn’t already caught up with him will make its arrival by then, and he’s not going to ask anyone to wait on him hand-and-foot. He’d sooner manage by himself.
Jeez. Rolling an eight with Sakon really was a double-edged sword, wasn’t it? He almost needs a hand getting back to his feet, even; but once he does, he’s all smiles again. ]
