( good. he didn't need the back up, didn't want it, but at least the man isn't getting in his way and is instead following along.
robin manages to get his leg over the beast's tail, and swings himself up enough to climb up it. it makes a loud, displeased noise that sounds almost mechanical but it matters not. once robin has a grip on something, he has the tendency to not let go - and he certainly doesn't here. the tail swings about, but he moves along with it, letting himself go lax so when it swings, his weight shifts almost like fluid.
he only needs a few moments. long enough for it to pause in it's rattling about so he can shift gears and run up the tail, explosives still in hand.
one hand presses to the beast's collar, while the other plants the explosives in the curve of it's neck as robin flips his weight up and over it's shoulders, hoping to land on the ground in front of it.
unfortunately timing isn't on his side, and as soon as he's moved his hand off the beast and the explosives start their countdown, it swings an arm straight for him. there's no time to effectively move out of it's trajectory, so he does the next best thing and ls every muscle go lax. it won't cause as much damage if he's not tensed up when it hits. )
