If anything, leather was a great insulator even if it meant that between all of the physical exertion and his sweater Sephiroth was not only almost-too warm, but increasingly found attention drawn to how clammy he was starting to feel. In the moments where he was holding Terra though, his personal hygiene for the moment seemed less important.
Only when she drew attention to her feet did large arms uncurl from her so that he might get the room to look down between them, yet not moving so far out of reach so that she might fall. In the moonlight and dim street lighting, Terra's feet nearly glowed snow white. The very tips of them were indeed starting to go blue, he imagined, but the lighting must have been too bad to tell.
He imagined piggy-backing her home but then, as almost an after-thought he remembered the pack still on his back. He didn't feel inclined towards leaving that on the street either, not to mention the complicated buckles he'd have to negotiate to get the thing off quickly. Sephiroth blinked a few times, banishing a foggy feeling from behind still-a-little dazed eyes before resting on the only conclusion.
"So, we've only one option then-" He really didn't give her much of a choice in the matter, despite the minuscule hesitation that came over him after Sephiroth had managed to gather Terra in his arms again and hooked her knees over one forearm while lifting her. Now was not the time to get dizzy; it had only been a glancing blow to his head, really...
Oddly enough, the photon pack now served as a kind of counter-balance which prevented that first motion resulting in just dropping her. Terra wasn't all that heavy, at all.
