[Liem's brows climb a little when Gray suggests adding some weights to make his task more difficult. It's a surprisingly game suggestion given the unorthodox nature of their current activity. Truthfully, she seems to be taking it more in stride than he is.]

Hmm.

[He pauses while he mulls the idea over. It's true that carrying just Gray by herself isn't much of a challenge. Maybe adding a weight or two would be more in the spirit of the training.]

Probably, [he decides.] Carrying you like this is less of a challenge than I was anticipating.

[His lips curve slightly.]

I wouldn't want you to feel like you're wasting your time.
