[Day 369] Defense Force Mingle
[Video | Closed to Defense Force]
This afternoon we're going to do a thing. Be at the headquarters. If you know someone who isn't a member, but they're interested in joining you can bring them too. [She knows it may not be the best day after hearing this morning's announcement, but since the wardens played with them yesterday she knows the day should be clear of their interference and they have some new recruits so they should probably all meet each other.]

[Action | MINGLE!]
[The thing in question is on the roof of the headquarters. Kitty brought food and drinks which thankfully she did not prepare. It's all snack-sized finger foods. She wants everyone to have a chance to know their teammates better. She isn't going to force any group activities but there are some tables and chairs for people who want to relax more or maybe play a game. She did leave a few decks of cards out.]

	[She watches him, listening. But if it was just about the bands then he'd have been upset this whole time they've had them.] You're afraid he isn't going to choose you? [That you'll come in second place and it won't be close enough?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He bites his lip.] I'm afraid he's already chosen Spike above me by fucking him. [He lifts his eyes to her face, his jaw tight.] Warden mind-fucking or not, he must have known what it would mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Every day that he was in control of his emotions he chose you or this would have happened before. He loves you, Jack. [She doesn't know what this means either. If he will choose Spike ultimately or not, but she believes he loves him. She hopes she's right for Jack's sake.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He sighs, running a hand through his hair.] I know he does. It's just... this thing with Spike is all new and exciting and since he does have to choose, what if he chooses Spike instead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-01 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know. [Because he could and she doesn't know where that would leave them. Sad at least. She reaches for his other hand and gives it a squeeze.] I hope that doesn't happen. [It was nice there was a couple making it work.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-01 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	Me too. [He curls his hand into her and - well - kind of clings, actually.] He's just... he's everything, you know? [And then he remembers what happened with her and Reid and realises she knows exactly what he's going through, and he grimaces.] I'm sorry. I shouldn't go on and on about this. You've been through it all too! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Clinging is an approved method for coping with possible impending heartbreak.] It's okay. How often did I go on while it was happening? My turn to give back a little. And every relationship is different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-01 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	[He laughs dryly.] This one is certainly different, for me! I can't remember the last time I cared so much for someone. [Well, except that day he was tricked into caring just as much for someone else... He squeezes her hand, trying to head off that line of thinking.] Thank you, Kitty. How is it going with Reid?

[She squeezes back. It's okay. She gets it. She felt the same. She still feels...things. Her life feels like it's full of a lot of complicated feelings for too many men and one very clear feeling of love for Reid that makes it easier to choose. Even if it's also harder because he doesn't always choose her.]

We have lunch dates now. Because you really want to hear about things going well with us at this moment.

	Oh, come on, I'm not allowed to be pleased things are at least going well for one of us? So, lunch dates, huh? That sounds very... formal! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay, be glad for me. [She smiles softly and then laughs.]

What? No, it's cute. Then later we court in the parlor. [Smirking. They probably do sound old fashioned.]

I just like spending time with him again. [Which is 100% true. And she will gladly pretend she's not sexually frustrated or longing for that extra level of intimacy that comes from just sleeping next to each other or having breakfast together at home, because she knows Reid needs time. She just isn't really used to going without it and she hasn't been with anyone that way since...Jack. She might have gotten slightly carried away a few times at the mistletoe when she least expected it.]

	I am glad. I hope you continue to have wonderful courting sessions in the parlour. Do the bots chaperone you, make sure things don't get too out of hand? [Okay, there are slightly mixed feelings there, but he is glad she's finally getting a break.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-01 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, but mostly just because they like watching us kiss. Dirty bots. [It isn't fully old school! She rubs a thumb over his hand, just quietly supporting him even if they are talking about her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-01 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	[It helps. It's lighthearted and normal and comforting.] Well, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised about that, given their affinity for mistletoe and all that! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-01 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, don't reminds me. Yeah, so much complicated mistletoe. [Did she mention it had gotten complicated that day?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-01 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	[He slants a look up at her.] Complicated? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-01 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	[She sighs softly.] Don't pass this on? Chekov has feelings for me. [And from the way she kissed him back she wonders if she might have some too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-01 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Chekov? [He knows who the man is because of the Defence Force, but not well enough to know there's a thing between him and Kitty. He shakes his head slowly, with a wry smile.] Yeah, I'd say that's complicated! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-01 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Could you sound less surprised? Some people like me, okay? In this case a close friend who looks a lot like Nathan. [Or basically identical other than being a little older and keeping his hair a bit differently and generally looking happy instead of morose.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-02 10:35 am UTC (link)
	Heh, sorry! I'm not surprised about people liking you. [Obviously.] I just don't think I've ever really heard you mention him, that's all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-02 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Maybe I haven't. [She and Jack always seem to have other things to discuss or UST to avoid.] We've been pretty close. He's a good guy. Easy to talk to and joke with and not in a happy relationship which probably made talking to him about Reid that much easier. [Unlike Ton who was busy getting married then.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-03 10:37 am UTC (link)
	[They do, don't they? In a way, this is good. It's definitely helping take his mind off his immediate problems - at least for a minute or two. He nods slowly at her explanation.] I see. So, things got complicated on mistletoe day? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-03 02:32 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I found out they were complicated on mistletoe day. He probably didn't fall for me the moment we started kissing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-04-03 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	[His lips twitch.] I wouldn't blame him if he did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-04-03 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	[She laughs softly if only to distract from the way her cheeks warm just a little at that.] You're terrible. [In the best kind of ways.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
