[For Jonas] and the only way I know where the train will go

[girlsolo]

Kate drops the last two satchels on the floor of the hut. "That's the last of it," she says to the dog nuzzling at her calf. She tries not to think too hard about 'it' - her stuff and what she's kept of Declan's, the bedframe she'd gotten help to move, the mat, the couch - or why she's moved away from the hut she chose for herself. The one she insisted on keeping even when she spent more than half her night's with him. She could've had...

She's thinking again. She needs to stop doing that.

"Thirsty, Red?" Talking to Bonny's not a bad distraction. The puppy will be happier here with the dog and the direwolf, the turtles and the ocicat. When Bonny barks, Kate smiles, reaches down and ruffles her ears, then goes into her new house to get a dish of water for Bonny (there's running water, that's a plus) and a glass for herself.

It's good. Being here. More like the Sanctuary, she thinks, when she sets the dish down for Bonny and drops on her ass on the porch. She's closer to William, which will be good when Sam has the baby. Closer to the Compound and the Winchester and the Hub, which is good for...well, everything. She scrubs her sweaty forehead with her wrist.

Kate rests her elbows on her knees and her head on her hands with the glass dangling from her fingers. It's good. Even if she wishes Will and Magnus and Nikola lived here too. So why does she feel like shit?

[OOC: Jonas has probably seen Kate around with William and knows her by name. She'll perk up when if he comes over to say hi.]

"Who says it's a weakness?" She knows about Rapture's armory. It's more like scattered stockpiles at this point, but there are weapons and she knows where they are if she needs them.

She shrugs and grins up at him. "As long as you're not passing out from low blood sugar, do what you love as long as you want."

"Well, it's not technically a weakness but I thought that's how the saying went." Jonas too shrugged, still with a smile. It wouldn't be the first time he got an Earth saying wrong and it wouldn't be the last so it didn't bother him.

"And that's actually a lot easier for me then it is for you. The passing out part I mean. Langarans have a higher metabolism then Tauri." He paused then laughed bashfully. "But I get what you meant."

"It's how the saying goes. I'm just arguing with it. You'll get used to it. I do that." She leans back, hands resting on the porch and legs stretching out in front of her.

She takes a nice long look up his body. Cute, if a little bit stiff. Built. Nice neighbor. She grins. "Guess I'm adding you to the 'check twice a day and make sure he eats' list."

"Your sense of humor is a lot like Colonel O'Neill's then." Jonas said a bit matter of factly with a small smile. It was still a bit melancholy to even mention the Colonel, especially with everything going on. "I think I can manage."

The bashful grin turned into a slight blush as he caught her gaze and he opted to just look away. He knew she likely meant nothing by it but it was still a little embarrassing. "I wouldn't worry. I'm so used to eating that I get distracted if I'm not. Is that what you did back home, take care of people?" It was an honest question and one he hoped wasn't too personal.

Even cuter, he's shy. Poor guy's gonna bust something if she does her lingerie by hand and hangs it out to dry. The idea makes her grin a little brighter when she shrugs.

"Sort of. Mostly took care of making sure everyone got home alive." Her fingers tap against the wood of the porch. "But when we weren't out, yeah. I helped take care of the residents."
