She bent low and slammed her shoulder beneath Ñolofinwë's centre of gravity, scooping him easily over her shoulder as she straightened up. With a tiny nudge she settled him properly over the width of her left shoulder, gripping one thigh reluctantly to hold him in place as she marched away with him from the fraca behind them that was properly descending into chaos.
Only briefly did Ñolofinwë regard his older sibling, easily allowing her the required time to come in too close to him. It wasn't often Curufinwë approached him so forwardly yet her silence told him she wasn't interested in his presence at all, as she usually wasn't, and chose to continue on with the issue at hand.
Rather, he had every intention to return to what he previously had been doing had his breath not been forced from him. The sound he made was startled than anything – what did he do? There was very little difference in the gender of Elves, and for the little they were broad the females tended to be equally thus. Still, a woman's weight settled lower and when it came to lifting she would always have the advantage. Instead of quickly ending up top-heavy the weight first would need to come to balance.
That said, Ñolofinwë doubled pretty easily if only from the force she had shoved against him with, and fell forward when she gathered him. Before he could manage to pose any sort of question he found his feet off the ground, and when he moved to stretch down she was faster, restraining one of his legs. "What are you doing?" He managed, pushing aside the confusion. "Where are you taking me?" Easily could he struggle or toss one of those long legs, or pull opposite, but he worried he'd hit her unintentionally. Thus Nolofinwe remained prone a moment longer before planting a hand in the centre of her back, pushing to prop himself up some. "Curufinwë, set me down."
Briefly he thought to shout at her indignantly. It was likely better he had to strain to breathe correctly in order to speak for he also wouldn't appreciate her throwing him onto the floor should he manage insulting her.
