Re: Log: The Cat - Cat/Matt Very formal dress. You should try it sometime. Some very soft fabric in snowy black, some sharp dress shoes, clean hair and a shaved jaw. [She looked entertained by her own suggestion, and you could almost imagine the visual dancing in her mind.] You might clean up well. Stranger things have happened. [She was looking him up, and she was looking him down, and why not? She watched him pour as if the world had stopped turning for the duration of this visit, and it was easy to assume it had. Perhaps it was the swiss cheese memory she fought against, but it made time something constructed, and who said it was even moving?
She took her own glass, once he'd filled it, and she chuckled at the notion of punching Jack over his nesting dolls.] I froze. [The admission was candid, and she paired it with her own raised glass:] Важно не то, как долго ты прожил, а как хорошо жил. [And she didn't down her vodka. She sipped, and she'd been raised on the burn. It was the familiarity of youth, and she pressed red lips together to savor the sweet burn of the ridiculously expensive beverage.]
Well- [She held out her glass, and she took another sip once he refilled it.] Let me know if you want a travel companion. We could go first class. [With her level of bank? They could go in their own jet. For Cat, the concern wasn't the logistics. No, and she knew the logistics weren't his concern either.] I don't know. We could buy it. Do something good with it. [Ah, she was fond of her charities these days. Shhhh. Don't tell.]
Calvin. He was older, a scientist. Dark skin and kindly eyes. He regretted the things he did. I always got the feeling that he dragged out the experiments, because he knew he'd only live until he found a way to make a working serum that the body didn't reject. [She downed the rest of her drink, and she held it out for him to refill. That bottle? Wouldn't live out the night, and it still wouldn't be nearly enough to get her buzzed.] His son works for the military. He's on our locks, and perhaps you've noticed him. His name is Isaiah. Isaiah Bishop.
