[It's truly a good thing that Richard' isn't secretly some kind of asshole who'd just trick a guy and then leave him hanging like that.
But yeah, the situation is hardly ideal for either of them. Though, it's not like there's much else that they can do, unless Viktor would have preferred him to aim to drop the cage while he's still inside of it. So yeah. They gotta make do with what they got.
Richard watches the other man with keen eye, preparing for the moment when he finally releases his grips on the steel cage and-- ah, there he comes!
Staying true to his words, Richard does not drop the man. His arms wrapping tightly around the other man's torso so that he can pull the man against his body and guide him on the horse's back. Surprised by the sudden added weight, Blackie takes a few nervous steps as he tries to adjust to the situation -- well, at least he is trained well-enough not to try shake them off his back.
The whole process is overall very awkward and far cry from perfect catch, considering that the sickly man has, despite his rather pathetic appearance, bigger build than he does. But here they are! Richard moves his other arm underneath Viktor's legs, other one remaining around his back. So yeah... Weird bridal-carry it is.]
