One of my (many many many many many) cherished things about the music video to "He Has Returned" is how Angus spends 90% of his screentime with the Prince getting Carried Around.
Their first meeting when he was a child? Carried. Their second meeting after putting Tooley back together? Carried. The bit where they dive into the portal after Proletius's sickass guitar solo? Carried. Those few precious moments after he frees Tooley from the influence of the Knife of Evil? Guess what, CARRIED.
That second one wasn't even necessary. The Prince just took him on a romantic moonlit flight for funsies. He took one look at this tiny green thing with a hammer, went "is anyone going to just Carry Him Around?" and didn't wait for an answer.
I fully believe that Angus just has to get used to being Randomly Picked Up every once in a while because your walking speed is suboptimal and you grow weary faster than I do. Come here. It is more practical this way.
(It's just an excuse and we all know it. Emotional support princeling.)
Angus trips over something one time and the Hootsman helps him stand up. The Prince immediately wants to punt the guy into the orbit and doesn't even understand why until later because excuse me sir, I'm the only one allowed to Pick Him Up.
Shit, there's even a fic about this (which I treasure dearly).
Angus McFife, second of his name, prince of Dundee, The Portable.
(not that he minds, but you didn't hear it from me.)
"Hey Angus don't you have a motorbike for quick travel over long distances and difficult terrain?"
"Shhhhhhhh, it's a prince thing, you wouldn't understand it."
I mean, gotta hand it to him, he's a mech of his word.
