Raju's fairly used to this by now; as much as he tries to move Francis as little as possible, it has to be done sometimes. He slides his arm slowly behind Francis' shoulders, easing him up, moving his other hand around Francis' back once he makes it far enough.
"Everything hurts already," he notes mildly, half hoping Francis is about to say the same thing so Raju can time their answers together. He understands, and doesn't mind, but it is something that he's heard more than a few times, by this point. But Francis might be trying to be on better behaviour for Svetlana, so it's hard to say. "You mean more than usual?"
