Did I not say that I would be at your side for as long as you needed me?
[ Kei notes the action. His eyes narrow slightly, but he doesn't add anything. Is she attempting to bring more color to her face so she won't faint? His shoulders drop just slightly before he leans forward -- and picks her up. Even with his average build, he still has a good foot on her and muscle or no, he would feel remiss if he could not carry a young woman as delicate as Sakura.
Furthermore, the expression she made; it is one of shock and horror. Of the power that she commands? He muses as he starts to head back the way that they came. His boots snap a few twigs as he walks but he does not sprint, does not hurry. The sounds he makes could call another monster, but he doesn't rush their way back. ]
Sakura. You're still my senpai's daughter.
[ Yes, he feels that is most important to tell her.
Yet Kei wonders if reassuring her is not actually plunging a knife into her chest and twisting it. Will she not feel only more monstrous the more he ignores asking questions about her powers? The more he insists simply that she is Tohsaka-senpai's daughter without acknowledging what she did? The kindness he gives her is hope, but it feels a little like poison. If it doesn't matter if she's happy or unhappy, she should be happy.
He ignores how light and easy he is walking; he ignores it; he ignores it; he ignores it-- ]
