Careful of the guy's reach Julien puts his big head in view. "Suil! I think it'll be easier if I roll you sideways. Not as dignified as going right onto your feet, of course, but I'm only so strong and I don't have a lever."

He pulls back, eyeing the shell. Julien is strong but hampered by having wings and a boat-shaped body. "All right. This should work. Don't hit me, now."

Crouching by the creature's side, shuffling in a little closer, Julien applies his folded wing and starts to stand. Think of someone applying a shoulder.
