Hopefully he was still out, then. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I know this is probably hard on you...I would do it if I could, but I'm too weak."

D hid her face in Kate's shoulder for a moment before lifting her head and giving a soft smile. Though it was fake. "It's okay."

She was pretty concerned upon seeing the fake smile, but she didn't say anything about it, just nodded

Despite her tail tip twitching, D turned and started off toward the guest room. She was a bit stiff but wasn't about to rip Luke open. She still wanted to, though. Badly.

Kate chewed on her lip as she watched

Luke was passed out still, on his back as D had placed him to cause less pain. She peaked in and glared at him but still was going to carry him. For Kate.

Kate was really tense, still chewing her lip

D was muttering a bit as she came over and tenderly slipped her arms under Luke. He groaned as she lifted him into her arms and used her wings for balance.

Kate wanted to offer to help, but she figured one arm wouldn't do much good

Yeah, besides. D easily slung him gently over a shoulder despite that he was an adult.
