((Okay I'm back for good now. Hopefully we can get places with this now. Sorry sorry sorry for the delay!))
Katie listened casually as Alicia began to speak, but ended up becoming much more intent as the story went on. Beginning with 'asking questions for the Ministry' Katie was interested, wanting to talk to her friend about how she had been brought in for questioning as well, but was quickly slightly alarmed as Alicia finished her story.
"One of..." Katie trailed off, eyes wide, and she put her slice of pizza down before turning toward Alicia fully. She knew what 'one of them' meant, of course she did, and the fact that they couldn't even say it out loud was almost more frightening to Katie presently than the actual subject.
Trying to make the conversation a little more lighthearted, she smiled wryly before nodding nonchalantly, shrugging a bit. "Well, the guys at the Ministry are pretty creepy, from my own experience as well." Sighing slightly, she asked the next question, a bit more quietly, "Why are they really even targeting us for questioning anyway?"
