[Oct. 13-20] full stops and exclamation marks

[girlsolo]

Kate's back to drinking tequila again. That's never a good sign. Tonight it's a sign she's bouncing between sexy check-in notes with Declan that make this island seem all right and people like Coraline screaming and crying over how much it fucking sucks.

The smart thing to do would be find Will or Magnus, talk some of this out. Even finding someone to spar with, that would work. Thing is, Kate's not that kind of smart. When it comes to helping Coraline? Sure. Yeah. She's been listening to Will do his shrink thing for years now. But when it comes to herself?

Fuck that noise. She'd still rather fuck and forget.

Kate leans her back against a post to watch the room, drinks another shot (hot wheels only, no training), and flirts at whatever makes eye contact. Whether she's Go or just Show, she hasn't decided yet. Mostly, she's trying not to look for anyone in particular. She's trying not to wish he'd come in and just...

Take her home.

[OOC: Find her at the Hub or the Winchester (let me know) any evening between now and the 20th. Available for all of your Freelander needs. If you need a specific date, email me, otherwise I'll work them out. For the record, Kate's very bi but a lot less available than she thinks she is.]

"He doesn't even think it's a risk."

Kate drops both elbows on the counter and hangs her head between them. She locks her hands behind her neck and doesn't scream, but she's seriously thinking about it. When she looks up again, all traces of fight or flight are gone from her eyes.

"He's not worried. He says we can do this. He says I can do it. Probably, he's right. I get what I want. It's who I am." But the more it matters, the more damage she's willing to do to get it. Her and Declan...there are small countries she might decimate with that ICBM and that might not be a good thing.

"Complicated," he said again polishing off his beer. There was more he could have said, other questions he wanted to ask, but she had said that her telling him wasn't necessarily an invitation to offer advice.

From what he could tell, this guy seemed to see Kate for as valuable and worthwhile as she was. Aidan wasn't sure if Kate was convinced she was that valuable and worthwhile and deserved this sort of relationship. It might be that she just wasn't sure if he wanted it, but he suspected there might be more to it than that.

"Shouldn't be. Millions of idiots manage it." Kate snorts and shrugs off the conversation. She's never been one for 'talking it out' and she's not looking to start now.

"Whatever. I have a shrink if I need one." Now that they're talking again, she does. "You drinking or just taking in the scenery?"

"Just enjoying a night to myself," Aidan said. It was amazing how quickly that had been a luxury. Martha hadn't asked himself to be so involved, to check in on her and Alfie nearly every night and to spend so much time with them, but Aidan liked it. It was almost addicted, that sense of normalcy, let alone factoring in how he felt about the two of them.

"But part of that is admiring the scenery I suppose," he said, giving her a bit of a smile.

"Come on, then. I'll buy you a drink." She grins, sharp. "Since I can't blow you, it's the least I can do."
