Re: Ice cream: Cat & Reece
She rolled her eyes. "As if Reece is any better than Selina. Cat's a nickname my father and his Family came up with. Catalone. Cat. Surnames were more important than given names in the world I come from. He actually called me his little lion. A girl that could hold a crime family. Boy, was he ever wrong." She was glad he agreed with her about guilt and the past, though she hadn't expected that he wouldn't. After all, guilt absolutely wasn't his aesthetic. It would clash terribly with his shoes.
Oh, and the kitten knew he was going to have to make up some wonderful story about his sexual exploits. Too, she knew he wasn't very good at things like that on the spot. It could be said she was helping him, and she liked thinking of herself as a beneficent benefactor. But, surprise, surprise, he didn't make anything up, and she found herself looking at him with a decidedly dumbfounded look on her face. "It's not that weird." It was weird. "You know, you're the strangest hedonist I've ever met. I regularly consider revoking your card."
But, Aegis, right. "We save the world." She chuckled, because nothing was that simple. "We deal with big problems, but they have office positions, and they have handlers and big secrets in the Capital. You could lackey your way up. Isn't that your thing? The thrill of the climb."
