By the time Karla got to her cabin, she was on her very last shred on energy. It was entirely likely she wouldn't have made it all the way to her cabin if Kennedy hadn't taken one look at her staggering out of the portal and high-handedly decided to half-carry Karla the whole way there. Of course, Karla had tried to lecture Kennedy about the importance of eating and resting to replenish the energy she'd lost during Nynaeve's Healing, while Kennedy just rolled her eyes and told Karla to save her breath for walking, as Kennedy wasn't the one two inches away from passing out. Karla had then taken it upon herself to walk unaided, just to prove she could, which had, in turn, led to her almost faceplanting in the dirt, Kennedy intervening just in time.
Needless to say, it was a very long and snarky walk back to the cabins.
Fortunately, Emma was reading in the cabin when the sorry-looking pair lurched through the door. Kennedy was more than happy to let someone else deal with Karla and left the cabin in a hurry, leaving Karla to protest, "'M fine! I jus' need a minnit t'sit down. 'N mebbe a san'wich."
