'But I can't walk any more!' Rose complained for the umpteenth time. When we reached the next stairwell landing, I had to pick her up, though why that duty kept falling to me was a mystery.
She giggled when I let her sit on my shoulders, though letting her up there in the first place was a terrible lapse in judgement.
'Get down now!' Cali yelled, shaking her head at me. 'We've got enough to worry about, without her falling over the edge too!'
I nodded, lowering Rose to the floor. 'There's not much further to walk anyway.'
I could hear the Oracle's lips crack as she smiled. 'You shouldn't lie to her.'
