Re: Mean-Eyed Cat: Cat/Em
[Cat scoffed.] You never needed a hero, and you don't need one now. [She watched as Em turned back to her, and she couldn't help but smile as that intensity filtered back into the other woman's eyes. Cat? Hadn't even realized it was missing, and she considered herself fairly observant. But maybe she was out of practice, and maybe it was this small town making her soft and lazy. No marks walking through the door, and no safes to crack, and she was glad to see that old spark in the woman across the bar.]
You got exiled, didn't you? You changed. Your entire life turned itself upside-down, and you found yourself here and without purpose. You're allowed your moment of weakness, Em. [She filled their cups, and this time it was with a smile that lingered warmly.] So? Show him what he lost, what he's missing. [A grin.] That always worked for me. [And it had.]
