His laundry done, his body clean and showered, Kuhaku was quietly making his way back to his room. Receiving the typical and expected odd looks from various students as he walked along in his towel. It was annoying. Hadn't they ever seen towels before? Idiots. Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he blinked when he saw someone he recognized. It was Michelle, the Cat Faunus he had met before. That's right, she was appointed leader of her Hunter team, wasn't she? He was about to wave at her in greeting and maybe offer a personal congratulation to her, but then...

[B]"Uh, I, I uh, I..."[/B] Again with the s-stuttering and s-stammering.
What was with this girl?
Her face was oddly red too.
Does she have a circulation problem?
Then, she fainted and collapsed to the ground.

Ears and tail standing straight up in alarm, he looked around to see if anyone else was the cause for her collapse. A few students gasped and muttered amongst themselves, giving Kuhaku evil looks. They didn't possibly think it was his fault, did they? Why wasn't anyone coming to her aid? Imbeciles, all of them. Quickly padding over to her, he pressed two fingers against her neck to feel for a pulse. He lowered his ears to her lips to listen for her breath. Good, she was still alive and breathing. Standing up, he looked at the other students and scowled at them when they were just content with gossiping and bystanding. Growling, he determined he would be the one to have to take matters into his own hands. What could he do, leave her and seek help of a faculty member? No, that would look worse on him. Knowing the other knuckleheaded students, they would be content with standing around her abandoned body to do lord knows what. Well, he could only think of taking matters into his own hands literally.

But, that would mean touching another person.
He couldn't well ask someone else to carry her or even ask someone else to seek medical assistance.
He sighed, his ears and tail drooping.
Making sure the knot on his towel was tight, he quietly apologized to Michelle for what he was about to do.
He'll have to apologize again later when she came to.
He hoped her condition wasn't serious.
Better make haste.

Quickly kneeling down, he slipped his arms underneath her upper back/neck and the back of her thighs/knees to scoop her up into his arms. Holding her close, he looked around at the other students and was about to ask where the nearest Infirmary was but, they exploded into more loud gossiping as they continued to watch him and Michelle. So damned annoying. Oh, well. He'll find it on his own, he supposed. Ears twitching and nose sniffing, he relied on his natural sense of direction to lead him on the right path. Now the only problem that remained was how to explain the entire situation to the medical staff.

He groaned. What a pain.
He hoped Michelle wouldn't mind him having touched her.
He'll apologize to her later, feeling rather uncomfortable.
