[Asami]

Wiping away the huge tears that were falling down her cheeks."o.oh...okay" she sniffed a few times and followed the nurse.

"But I can't make it and I wouldn't want to make you carry me..." she looked down away from his face.

[Gallagher]

Clicking his tongue softly, Kier evened his expression, stepping just a fraction away from the young woman and crossing his arms. Beyond this gesture, he seemed to have no intentions whatsoever of moving again.

[Asami]

"What are you doing?" Asami looked up at the boy. "I would be way to heavy for you to carry." She sighed. Kier would probably carry her and she would feel like a burden to him.

[Gallagher]

"That," he started, smiling softly as he leaned slightly closer to the young woman, his head tilted just so to see her better, "is starting to sound like a challenge. I can't resist a good challenge, you know."

[Asami]

She tilted her head to the side just a fraction giving him a quizzical look. "What do you mean by a challenge?" oh god... what is going to happen. She was really worried now. She would break his back or something if he tried to carry her.

[Gallagher]

Clicking his tongue softly, he shook his head and, before she could move away, he bent to pick her right up, the only mark of the effort used being a light grunt as he settled her weight relatively comfortably in his arms. "Does this answer your question?"

[Asami]

She knew what was going to happen before it did. She tried to resist it but gave up almost as soon as she started to struggle. She was going to break his back or something. Her blush spread across her cheeks as she realized how he was holding her. "Umm..i guess... it does..?" she blinked up at his face slightly confused.

[Gallagher]

Raising a single brow down at her, he glanced briefly to their right, then turned his attention ahead as he got moving again. While he was never one for any sorts of athletics, and certainly never cared to build up his strength, he found that he had even less trouble handling her that he'd thought he would. Still, he mused, it was probably a good thing there wasn't about to be any stairs to deal with, too. "You know, you remind me a little of my sister."

Nikolaus was panting by the time he reached the clinic again. He ran a hand back through his hair and shut his eyes, attempting to slow his breathing. The last thing he wanted was to look like a damn mess, even if that was exactly how he felt. After another moment, he dropped his hand and entered the room.

[Asami]

"Ummm.. I do?" She wondered who his family was and how he was raised. Her thought process went on to thinking about when family day would happen... and how she was scared of it.

[Gallagher]

"She's stubborn, too," he replied, nodding slightly. "Though she'd probably still be putting up a fight."

"Oh, Nik, are you alright?"

"Yeah, yeah, just peachy. Sia's here, right?"

"Well, yes, she came in a few minutes ago... Maybe you should take a seat. It might be a while-"

[Asami]

"I'm stubborn??" She tried to do her best quizzical face but she knew she must look stupid.

"Is nik here!" Sia sprinted out of the office and straight into nik.

[Gallagher]

Kier snorted softly and nodded, glancing just fleetingly down at her. "Unless you've got a better word for it?"

Nikolaus turned as soon as he heard the girl's familiar voice, his serious expression breaking to show just a hint of his worry. He winced just slightly as she ran into him. "Sia!"

[Asami]

The girl sighed as she leaned into him more. "Well.. i guess.. i dont..."

"Nik guess what!!" the girl grabbed onto the boys shirt and tugged hard. "I got my PERIOD!!" She beamed up at him. "You know what that means?! It means i am a woman finally!"

[Gallagher]

With a soft chuckle, Kier nodded his head, shifting his hold on the girl slightly as he judged how much farther they had to go. "Didn't think you would. It's the perfect word for it, I think." He nodded yet again, this time more to himself than it was to her. "It's better that way. Things are more interesting when they're difficult."

"I- You- What-?" His mouth agape and his face rapidly turning red, Nik instantly had countless thoughts crossing through his mind, but not a single thing to say to his ever energetic companion's declaration. "Uh... Congratulations?"

[Asami]

She pressed in closer listening to the beating of his heart. "Why would you say that? I mean.. things are so much better when it is easy..."

Sia cocked her head slightly to the side. "Nik arent you happy that I started my period?! I mean I am a woman now!" She grabbed his arms and started dancing a little bit making his arms flail around a bit.

[Gallagher]

"Nothing is quite as easy as it seems, I'm afraid. Everything that's worth it is difficult..." Kier nodded just slightly, shifting his hold on the girl. "They just seem easy until you find yourself unable to get them."

"Yeah- Yeah, sure I am. That's what all this was about?"
