Re: log: cat/eddie at the carnival
Whatever the reason? Cat liked the green. Perhaps it reminded her of home, but she thought that was a little too simple. After all, they were nothing if not complicated, and perhaps that made their lives harder than the average person. After all, they'd lived. Adrenaline, chaos, dark days, they'd had them all. They'd triumphed so brilliantly, and they'd feared so acutely, and they'd lost so profoundly, and it was hard to wake to nothing after all that. If May quickened him, and Cat very much hoped May did, then she would be glad of it, and glad to make the other woman's acquaintance.
She sighed as he talked about Sasha, and her tone was entirely resigned and confessional when she spoke. "I wouldn't know if there's anything to worry about, Eddie. Sasha doesn't do anything but play at humor with me, and it's a very thing veil for the anger and hatred she feels. All we do is argue with each other lately, and I don't think that's helping her, so I'm avoiding her as much as I can. I want her happy, and it doesn't make much sense to be the one who's making her unhappy, does it? But her friend contacted me, and he echoes your feelings. He's worried about her, though he doesn't have anything concrete to go on either. He just thinks she's angry, at least as far as I could tell." It wasn't much, and it certainly wasn't anything to go on.
She lit a few more flowers, and she found she didn't mind the smell of evil; it reminded her of how, and how telling was that? But she quirked a brow when he unveiled his stash, and she inclined her head, impressed. "Are you going to light one up? Or are you just taunting me?" Oh, Cat liked to smoke these days. She liked to drink. She liked to do a lot of things that would worry her more if she wasn't a forty-plus year old woman in a younger body that couldn't deteriorate in the usual way. And sometimes, sometimes it was wonderful to forget her problems. "You know, Bruce brought home the most beautiful woman I've ever clapped eyes on. I definitely deserve a toke."
