Marty doesn't even bother pretending like Jacob's suggestion doesn't lift a huge weight off his shoulders. He isn't incompetent by any means, but he agrees with all Jacob's said.
So, quite enthusiastically, he says, "Jesus, yeah, I wanna stick by you.
"And not even 'cause we're cemented together." He lifts their joined forearms with a short chuckle, then sets them down again. "But soon as we're outta this maze, we can probably find some kinda rock or something to break this with, anyway." The imminent dangers of hammering something atop their arms with a relatively heavy object doesn't even occur to him.
Marty sticks his free hand out, his fingers curled into a fist. It's as much a gesture of camaraderie as any, even if he fails to realise such a thing probably has no meaning in Jacob's place in time.
"I'll watch your back." And then, bolstered by the fact he doesn't have to go at this alone, Marty grins. "I owe you one, anyway."
yes and yes!! and i'm down to make this game canon if you are 😎
