Day 389 : Video/Action : Anniversary
[Kitty appears on the video with bruises from a failed strangling fading on her neck. Things got rough a couple of days ago.]

So, it's Day 389 which also means it's been a year since I got here. And since the only other one who made that length of time is gone now, I guess I'm the reigning champ of sticking around. Celebrate or mourn it with me at Lyrical I guess. Funny hats are a plus. [She doesn't really know how to feel about it, but she figures it will be better to be not alone.]

Everyone's invited. [That was for Reid. Just in case he forgot, but if newbies want to party too then she doesn't really mind. She'll be set up on a small, comfy couch nursing a drink and listening to the music she requested from the music station. She isn't actually wearing a funny hat...yet?]

[Private to Chekov]

Hey.

[Chekov is thinking about many, many things because that's what he does, and some of those things are concerns about the potential consequences of getting closer to Kitty. Not for himself—he really is convinced that he's indestructible—but for her. She's had an impressively bad run of luck where men are concerned and he doesn't want to add to that.

He's also thinking about how much he's missed having this kind of touch and warmth and intimacy. Lucy was over a year and a half ago and there hasn't been anyone since. Chekov is fine on his own, but he doesn't always want to be.

He pulls back to breathe. Breathing is important.]

You could stay with me in this prison, too, sometimes.

[Her heart beats a little faster as she looks into his eyes, processing what he just said—offered.] I... [Maybe she should have waited until she knew what she was going to say.]

I'm not sure what I'm ready for. [There was such clarity at home. An absolute need for making a decision even if it might not be the perfect one. You had to make split second choices and barely had time to regret them before the next was upon you. That's changed here too. She doubts herself now. Has too much time to turn things over in her mind.]

But I like this. [At least some things are still clear.]

	[That's close enough to a no for Chekov. He isn't hurt. He shouldn't be pushing or offering anything after telling Kitty that she could do what she wants when she's ready. He should be more patient.] This is good. [It's true, and he can tell himself that he doesn't really need more.] Although I hope that your other guests won't feel slighted.

	[It's more of a "maybe" and now he's got her thinking about it which has a way of turning things into a yes. She shifts, slowly lowering herself against him, letting her head rest on his shoulder.] Do you think I should get up and be more social? [Shifting closer, not moving further away.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He puts an arm around her and rests his head against hers. Maybe he shouldn't be encouraging her to get more comfortable, but she certainly isn't acting like she's in a hurry to go anywhere.] I think that you can be social here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The best kind of social. [This feels really good and she's not sure if she's allowed to just go where the good feelings are. Is it safe? Is it wise? Is there some amount of time she should be waiting that she hasn't met and if so what is it? For now she's content to just be content.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
