"I could have you dragged." Not by himself, of course. He was stronger than he looked, but still a small man, and he wouldn't be able to both drag Zeereth as well as fight off their attackers. Thankfully he could call for help if he decided he needed it.

But this was an easier solution. He had secured a safe house nearby, and the plan was to get Zeereth there, and then plan for how to get him safely off planet. This time, he did decide to switch his stealth tech on, turning the two of them invisible. Personally, he wasn't in the mood to fight.

And it would only take them about five minutes of walking to get to the safe house.
