"I think I'll survive," Sieglinde drawled, shutting her journal sharply and setting it atop her pillow with a sigh. She swung her legs for a while, and then stood up, brushing imaginary lint off of her skirt and looking up at Keri, face carefully blank.

"...so. Where are we headed for this kidnapping?"

"You think, but are you certain? I wouldn't want you to abruptly collapse, or anything." Keri asked, an easy show of concern spreading across her face as she leaned forward and snagged the younger girl's hand, practically dragging her out of the room and taking the stairs two at a time. It was hardly a kidnapping if there wasn't at least a little frenzy involved, after all.

"There was no lint on your skirt, by the way," she pointed out as they left the Common Room. "Also, you are actually allowed to wear an expression, I promise. And I wouldn't be much of a kidnapper if I told you where we were going, now, would I?"

"It'll take a lot more than just a little disappointment to kill me," Sieglide replied, and as light as her tone sounded, it was- technically- true. After all, her life had been a series of disappointments since coming to the school- she was earnestly surprised she'd lasted as long as she had.

"I figured- it's just a force of habit," she muttered, yelping a little when Keri began to haul her off, having to lengthen her stride to keep up with the taller girl. "And hey- do I at least get a hint as to what this kidnapping entails? I still have to study some later, you know..!" Not for any reason other than her own sanity, really but that was a good enough reason, in her mind.

Keri noted the light tone, and the depth behind it. Fingers still threaded through Sieglinde's, she squeezed the other girl's hand comfortingly, but said nothing. Keri wasn't one for stepping on her friend's egos - well, not unless it was funny. In this situation? Definitely not funny.

"Cute~" she teased, laughing at her yelp. "And you do not have to study at all, Miss Genius, nice try. If you need a distraction, I have infinitely more pleasurable things for you to do." She dropped a wink over her shoulder, before leading her captive around a series of corners until she came to an abrupt stop outside the painting of a fruit bowl. Looking around, exaggerating her caution, she leaned forward and tickled the pear. "And voila! The kitchens."
