After dinner and wine, Kate and Scott left the restaurant to go for a walk in the nearby park. While Kate was expecting (and somewhat fearing) a huge, dark park, it was well lit with streetlamps, and there were a lot of people about: jogging, playing on the play equipment, walking dogs… It was cool but not cold. Kate felt warm and safe.

She watched the sidewalk in front of them as they stepped up onto the curb and headed into the park. “It finally feels like summer.”

	"Is summer your favorite season?" Scott asked. He had to admit, it was getting pretty warm. He was thankful it was Tony footing the electric bill this summer. Running the AC wasn't cheap. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Oh, absolutely," Kate said, grinning softly. "Any excuse for a beach trip and to shirk off responsibilities. At the same time, when I came here I'd just spent a few months in Southern California, and it was pretty much like summer there all the time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You have any big plans for the summer, then?" Not that Scott was particularly sure what they could and couldn't do at this point without a rubber stamp of approval from someone. (Who? Scott wasn't sure. Maybe Tony?) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"... not really. I was thinking I might try to get a real job. Y'know, other than helping with security at New Asgard. What did you think about scooping ice cream?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Most people were alright, but the teenagers could be pretty bad." Scott could understand kids throwing tantrums -- they were kids. But some of the teenagers seemed to relish in giving anyone they could a hard time. "You thinking of scooping ice cream for a side gig?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not seriously considering, no. I'm just... debating all my options." She bumped her shoulder into his, playfully. "Actually, I might see if someone can help me get my PI license. I was sort of working as a PI in So Cal, but I hear they're supposed to be licensed? Who'd've known?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Like Veronica Mars." A beat, and then before Kate can ask any questions, added: "It's on Hulu. I binged it while I was on house arrest." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-03 05:08 am UTC (link)
	Kate gave a little snort. "I mean, it's a good show. I'd totally be like Veronica Mars. Only older and far more awesome. And with a bow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"She was older than you in Season 4," Scott said. "But don't watch season four." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-03 05:22 am UTC (link)
	Kate blinked at him. "Wait, they made a season 4??" She asked, wide-eyed. "What? How?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-03 05:26 am UTC (link)
	"Don't watch it," Scott repeated, looking grave. "It'll be a big disappointment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-03 05:57 am UTC (link)
	"All right, I won't." She lifted a finger and made an X in the air over her heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thank you," Scott said, the air of relief present in his voice. "The movie's okay, even though they recast Carrie Bishop." Scott wasn't even sure how big Kate was into V-Mars. Hopefully he wasn't weirding her out. He was just heavily invested. Who wouldn't be when they had plenty of time to watch it and mull it over alone while eating their breakfast cereal?

"I think you'd make a great Veronica Mars, by the way," he says. "You just need to find your Wallace and Mac. Backup." A beat. "And maybe a Backup, too." Backup being the name of Veronica's dog.

	"Oh yeah? Did Leighton Meester not want to come back for the part in the movie?" Kate asked, torn between confused and amused at how into the show he seemed to be. "Hey, I've already got a Backup. His name's Lucky, and he's the best dog ever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-04 02:08 pm UTC (link)
	"I think she was filming something else." Scott's pretty sure, anyway. "You mentioned Lucky before. That's Clint's dog, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-04 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	"I guess that makes sense," Kate replied. "We share custody. Lucky came with me to So Cal." The air was growing cooler now as night settled in. Many of the people in the park were heading home. But Kate didn't want the night to end. "We should probably find that ice cream before everything closes down for the night." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah," Scott said, digging up his phone. A few flicks of the screen and he manages to pull something up. "Should be one a block past this exit." He directs a finger at it. "It's no Baskin-Robbins, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Maybe that's a good thing?" Kate grinned, then looped her hand through the crook of his elbow. "Lead on, good sir." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-04 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	Scott led the way. Kate's arm looped around his own felt strangely comfortable, like it belonged there. But at the same time, Scott felt strangely off and he couldn't quite identify why. "You ever think about getting a dog here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-04 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	It was comfortable. Kate hadn't thought about it when she'd gone for it, but now that her hand was there she didn't want to let go. "Maybe. There's Cosmo, I love him, but I also worry that... What if I get sent home? Who would take care of my dog here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-05 06:04 am UTC (link)
	"I would." A beat. "I mean, Cassie and I would." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heat flashed across Kate’s cheeks. Her fingers tightened for just a moment around his elbow, giving a momentary squeeze, then she released it. His words meant so much to her that for a moment she wasn't sure how to respond. "I'm not sure what I'd do without you here," she said very softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-05 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	"You'd survive." Scott was sure of that. "Besides, you have plenty of friends out here looking out for you. I see how people interact with you on the net." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-05 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	That brought a smirk to Kate's lips. "Are you cyberstalking me, Mr. Lang?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
