Taking the offered stick, Kaylee carefully lowers it down the hatch, and lets it fall to the side and out of the way. She waits patiently for Jamie to climb up--Men, honestly, always gotta do things on their own--though she does occasionally point out decent footholds. There's one good thing to say for dented plating.
Once he nears the top, she relaxes again. The hatch is right there, and there isn't quite so much slippery metal to worry about now.
Jamie manages to prove her wrong on that one.
Without really thinking about it, she's moved to grab him and keep him steady. If the shock of pain is physically visible, at least he can't see it while she's helping him back up. "Easy does it," she gasps out, hoping it sounds more like the shock of his almost-fall than her arm wanting to fall off. "S'alright, just take your time."
