Gwen and Kellen continued to chat until all of Kellen's food was finished, the cafeteria was empty save them, and Kellen's head started bobbing. Kellen and Gwen had even chatted as they had put away their trays, getting smiles from the kind workers around them.
Gwen, who had never seen this sleepy side of Kellen before, had decided that she would help him back to his apartment. At first, Kellen had protested, until he had nearly fallen over as he was getting up from the bench. His whole body had gone weak, and Kellen could only theorize it was because he had relaxed around his sister. Gwen took up her duty as his Esper sister quite seriously.
Everything about her was smiling, but her grip was tight as she wrapped his hand around her forearm, tucking it against her body as she helped him move towards the elevator, and then up to the gym floor and passed. Only a few Espers were inside working out, and a few waved to Kellen and Gwen.
