That done, he lets himself take 1/4 of a step back to give her room as he lifts her against the frame of the door. She'll feel the earring dig into her thigh where he's got it safely tucked for the time being, though it's probably a little uncomfortable as he has to lift that leg a little higher to get it past the hilt of the sword strapped to his side.
