... Link has to admit she is rather concerned, overall, about what England might be thinking. If nothing else, once they've landed, the consolation comes in England's awkward forgetful slip-up; if nothing else, it would serve as an EXCELLENT, far less focused on her distraction. Not to mention an excuse to let him stand on his own, thank the Goddesses.

So she does just that, putting him down, and feeling just a bit embarrassed by things, all considered. But at least the door led out. That... was really what mattered.

She's... not really going to say anything (it's hard enough not to think too much and to keep embarrassment off her face at this point, she doesn't do well with physical contact), so you should probably take this as a sort of 'after you' gesture, England. After all, she hardly knows about the rule of ladies first, and even if she did, she wouldn't abide by it to save her cover.
