Re: [The Mean Eyed Cat: Jack + Cat]
It was good that Jack paid attention. Other rogues and vigilantes back home, they donned bright colors and wrapped themselves in distinctive weapons and personas. For Cat? It was this. It was power in something she'd had taken from her much too young, and she liked wielding it. Too, it was a good thing after feeling unattractive and old, and it was just like the whip that came out much too infrequently these days.
"That's why I asked after new friends. People who you weren't supposed to already know. That's the key, I think, when you forget everything that matters. Find people that didn't matter, and then make them matter instead." He looked at his glass, and she nudged the bottle away. No need for it right now, and it was a good bartender that knew when to offer and when to wait.
She shook her head, rolled her eyes. "Hardly the kind of shared memory you want to return to the present with." As for Adrian? She tsked. "That doesn't count. I was there, wasn't I? I mean people in town. Did you make any friends? Or did you only lose them, darling?"
