He's not as large as he usually is in this place, for reasons he doesn't really understand, but he's certainly big enough, and he can still carry them. "You might have noticed the spines on my back," he adds, to Louise this time, "so I can't carry you the way the dragons here would." That would hurt, because his spines are sharp-- they're literal weapons. "I'll hold you to my chest. I've carried many Arbora that way, so I'm used to it, and you will both be safe."
