Terra was confused at his words but his actions soon made his intention to carry her clear. She felt the heat rise to her cheeks and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her. Her head rested on his shoulder and she was thankful for the dim lighting which hopefully hid the blush that was rising in her cheeks and spreading across the bridge of her nose.

"Thank you." She wanted to say something more eloquent but she couldn't think of anything else. Her voice was a light whisper when she spoke but she knew that he could hear her. Instead of attempting to speak she closed her eyes and focused on each steady inhale of breath.

Sephiroth was warm and even though her feet ached she felt that warmth seep through the thin fabric of her pajamas and into her skin. Terra then tried to wiggle her toes however the slight motion brought a sharp pain which laced up her leg and tightened each muscle it passed through. She didn't want to cry out but it hurt more than she thought. Her teeth bit into her lower lip to stifle the cry that rose to her lips.

Terra knew that she couldn't hide it so she spoke before he could. "Sorry... it hurt's."
