girlsolo: (lonely in your nightmare)
Even though she'd told Lilo that Liv went home to her ohana and she's happy for her (and Kate is happy for Liv), Kate's having a hard time with this one. It's the hardest loss since Declan. Maybe harder, because Liv didn't know her before home but she trusted her anyway. The urge to do something stupid - steal something, break into someplace, pick a fight with someone bigger than her - has been dogging her since she found out.

So far she's been staving it off by ditching class to chill with Lilo, sticking Lilo with Daniel to fuck Phoebe and Trip, or hang with Imri. But today she's in the lab, fingers running the polished surfaces, hoping she's not about to decide to take Nikola up on the threesome with him and Alcuin. She's not sure if she's missing Liv when she spends fifteen minutes with her hand on the immersion tank or Hank because she's thinking about when she took Liv home in her dream and he'd tripped all over his tongue, or just missing...missing people with the roots she's let herself put down so she wouldn't spend her days here in jail.

Pretty quick after that, she decides being here's a damned bad idea and not the kind of bad idea she loves. Just the kind that makes her heart hurt. People are getting their memory back, so maybe she can go talk to Will or see Jim. Since she's not sure which she's more scared won't remember her still, she heads for Will's office. At least she's already done this once with him. It can't really hurt anymore than it already did.

She knocks on the door to his office and then leans there, arms crossed, shoulders against the frame and legs pushed out in front of her. Casual, lazy, defensive as fuck. If he's her Will, he'll know it. If he's not, she'll know and she'll make up some bullshit thing about checking on him and move on. Maybe find Sawyer or Steve instead. Standing here, she's not sure she's ready to face Jim not remembering yet.

When they get close to Will and Magnus's place, Kate puts her fingers to her lips and whistles. Both Lilo and Bonny come scampering back to her side. Lilo's got her face tilted up and Kate has to arch her eyebrows and cock her head toward the path to keep her from tripping and falling. Bonny's not much help, running around them in circles, jumping up for pets and nudging at Lilo's hands with her nose. She's getting better, though, with Lilo around to give her lots of affection.

They're all getting better. Better enough that Kate's laughing at Lilo asking if Elvis can ever come to the island, even though she's asked every day since she learned. Better enough that Kate's gut's not twisting even knowing what she's coming to talk to Will about. It's a bright good day, and maybe they'll go to the beach and Lilo can surf later.

She whistles again when they get to the hut. This time for Will. It's kind of handy that they all come to the same call. "Hey, Willmeister! You home?" That's just so he doesn't feel like a kid or a puppy.

Kate's glad when Auggie leaves with Annie. She's blonde. Pretty. Flirty. Civilian. Druitt-bait and her boyfriend's hell-bent on pinning a rap on him. Kate still thinks he did it or he knows something, but the way Druitt's acting... it doesn't track. And Kate's tired. It's pointless and a waste of time.

She's just about to give up and go search the caves when she sees Will. Crap. She really didn't want him to get involved. If there's anyone Druitt wants to hurt on the island, it's got to be Will.

"Come on, Baldy. Stop fucking around." Even from here, she can feel Magnus scowling at her language. "If you didn't do anything, tell me what you know!" He's lying about something.

girlsolo: (not just black and white)
Will takes Kate to see Magnus. Magnus is still larger than life, and Kate both is and isn't the woman Magnus remembers.
Continued from: And if we've come a long way, then I suspect it sideways.


A little to like, get rid of the spite, a bit of the pride to fight )
girlsolo: (w will - take a breath)
Kate brings Will dinner in bed. It's just a different bed than the one she expected to find him in. He's not a lizard, but there's a negligee (not Abby's) and a sloth. Kate's a little confused and a lot emotional. Will's just glad to see her.
