[Okay. Okay! She said okay. Moment of truth. With their hands joined, he halfway winds his arm around her so she's tucked in close, because if this does work, he doesn't want her to get jerked too abruptly into it. His free hand stretches out to summon his sword, pulls back his arm, flings it, and immediately phases his body into a warp to follow the sword's path. What he hopes will happen is that her body will phase with him, transferring into a beautiful thread of blue light until they re-materialize together, hanging off the tower of the nearest building...!

...And what actually happens is that he phases right through her and - THUNK - dangles alone at his destination.

He looks down at his now-empty arm, then over his shoulder at her, still standing on the ground with his translucent after-image above her. He lifts an arm in a one-handed shrug, the universal sign of, "what the heck?"]
