[Stone snatches the two of them up, both in one hand (it's a tight fit, sorry, boys) and shoves them through first, then wriggles through himself with his wings held tightly closed to his side, using his tail to haul the hatch shut behind him.

And then he just kind of hands upside down from it, because that's easier than finding somewhere to land, and he's tired. He's still an old man, even if he's also a dragon-thing. He needs to catch his breath. Matt and Eliot can look around while he gulps air. They can get free from his hand easily enough, if there's something for them to jump or climb to.]
