Re: Log: The Cat - Cat/Matt Home. [Again, she didn't clarify it for him. He could make of it what he would, and she was entertained by the questions she saw in his eyes. For all that the world could be a severe and serious place? Cat, she liked to have a little bit of fun now and again.] Oh, you remember your little friend with the matching metal arm? He showed up, aged down and we don't know why. He's a teenager again. Can you imagine? [Cat had no interest in reliving her youth, but Matt might not share that sentiment. At Reece's age? Cat was a teenager with a newborn, and her past? Was certainly catching up with her. And a certain Bruce Wainright? Well, he hadn't precisely turned out to be a knight in shining armor.]
I would entirely plead the fifth. [But she knew Matt wouldn't hurt someone who wasn't guilty of anything. For all that he thought himself a threat? And, alright, there was that pesky matter with the trigger words. But despite all that? He was a good man, even if he didn't see it in himself.
She waited for the door to close behind him. Then, a little buzzed, a little high, she set to counting her till for the evening. And her mood? Was surprisingly good - all things considered.]
