Welcome to Gaia! ::

I need to keep my mouth shut around this ghoul.

Escort did not, nor had ever meant to him, that he would carry someone. It was not that he could not, he was used to working out and felt confident enough that he could carry the ghoul. On the other hand it was not something that he had planned on doing or wished to.

Still, old habits died hard. He settled for a compromise, not outright denying her, but not outright saying yes either. "Are you injured Mistress Danny? You seemed to be moving on your own before you" ran me over and sat on me "had your unfortunate accident, and you seem to be rather energetic. But if you require assistance I will help." There. He had made it obvious that she did not seem injured, nor did she act injured. A lady would take the hint and not insist. Case closed.

Yǐn Cáng could be rational, and right now he was trying to figure out the pros and cons of the situation. Stand up to the ghoul and give her a firm and resounding no (when apparently she wanted to be friends) or just give in to get her to stop pouting seemed to be the two options.

And then she started to offer things and plead with him. "I do not know what a rabo is but I would not charge a ghoul for something so simple." He really just did not want to turn her down if she was trying so very hard, and it was not going to hurt him.

"How do you prefer to be carried?"

Okay, so she was heavier than he had expected. Perhaps whatever species she was had bones made of metal. Still, there was something to be said about the strength of insects. while his arms were much stronger than his legs he worked out, well, constantly. And at least he had already stretched and jogged this morning.

It was slightly disconcerting to be this close to a female, but he mentally marked it as a duty and looped his arms under her legs, hefting her to a better position on his back. I will never tell her how heavy she is.

And then he began to walk. It was no jog for certain, but it was a normal pace. He had gone several steps, carefully regulating his breathing when she was not threatening to choke him before he realized one crucial detail. "Where am I taking you Mistress Danny?"

The mantodae was not having quite as much fun as the fire demon. If he had known what an airplane was things may have made a little more sense to him, but as it was the female was making bizarre noises. Perhaps she was created in Halloween directly from human Fear. She may actually be a child in a teenaged body. This theory made him feel better, and he did his best to give her a comfortable ride.

"I am afraid I do not know "all the places." Perhaps you would just like to go to one place?" he hinted heavily.

The weremantises' back nerves were starting to wear down just a bit. "It appeared," he said with a light grunt as he hefted her back up onto his back, "that you were going to the gymnasium. Would you like for me to take you there?

Or perhaps to your dorm?" He would give her an option. He'd even carry her a fair distance. But he was not taking her everywhere.

Yǐn Cáng knew where the gymnasium was, and he knew where the monster dorm was. He was not certain which of the remaining dorms belonged to the girl on his back but he set off in the general direction.

"My apologies Miss Danny," he said, shortening her title due to the obvious age gap the girl must have, "but which building am I taking you to?"

He was uncertain as to why she wanted to "get all pretty," but to do that she would have to get off his back. That was a good thing.

With an actual goal in mind Yǐn Cáng sped up every so slightly, moving at an almost fast walk. The faster he got there the sooner he could set her down.

He was nice and walked all the way up to the doorway. "Here we are," he announced, and waited for her to get down. As soon as she did he was going back to the dorms, showering, and spending the rest of the day safely tucked away in his own room.
