You didn't have to touch him at all, Ginko, but Joker appreciates the effort. Letting his own hand fall as well, Joker lets out a slow breath. "Yeah, probably. Keep him safe, now."

And with that, Joker finally takes off, although at least he doesn't fly off too far. Just to a perch right over the opening... Somewhere he can catch his breath.

Somewhere he can pull the pieces of himself back together before anything can be taken advantage of.
