Not that Wriothesley's really thinking that because there's not a whole lot of room to think in general when the sounds of combat are ringing loudly through the air and he's being pinned to the deck by an oversized whale-shark-monster-thing. At this point it's mostly a combination of gut instinct and reflex driving him forward as he grapples with the kaiju to try and wrest it off.
The good news: A well-timed strike from behind knocks the kaiju off balance just enough for Wriothesley to shove it partially off. The bad news: All the jostling and fighting means that his savior takes the brunt of the next attack meant for Wriothesley.
He unearths himself just enough to see Taryon sailing towards the railing. Oh no way— Another shove and he's picking himself up, dashing towards the other man to try and tug him back up. But there's too much going on and too many monsters around them. With some effort he manages to get Taryon back over the railing but his diverted focus means he misses the kaiju that's clambered back around to ram itself into his back and send him toppling over the railing instead of Taryon.
It looks like it might be his turn to go for a swim now. ]
