He blinks several times and slaps both of his own freckled cheeks. Get it together!
"R-right. Yeah. Okay." His voice levels and his eyes focus. He's a professional at this. He should guide his partner. "Normally I'd just carry you and jump to the top, but we're training for a Quirkless--uh, non-powered tournament like the Olympics. So, we should try to just get by without that for this exercise. I'll only use my super strength in an emergency, but don't worry, I'll keep you safe." This he actually says with an even confidence, eyes unwavering.
"I, uh, don't know what kind of monster Ozpin-sensei has lured over here, but we should also avoid hurting it as well. It's better to avoid engaging an unknown enemy that isn't the objective anyway." Only when needing to suddenly save someone from that does he break that rule with zero regrets...
He huffs a short sigh. First Johnny Lawrence with the bears, now Ozpin with whatever's lurking and howling around here. These animals(?) didn't ask for this! (Or maybe they did, how should he know...) He continues, rambling sightly but at least staying relevant,
"There are a lot of ways in which a martial artist can dodge or deflect attacks. If it comes to it, you keep it at a distance with your bō and cover me, and I'll take care of close quarters and diversion. We'll also be using our agility to get to the top of the tower. Your jumps will come in handy." He points a gloved finger at the tower and traces a zig-zag. He's either miming stairs or parkour jumps.
