"Do you want a drink?" Katherine said, dispensing with the niceties altogether as Tereska entered the hall. Her voice was an ugly, dead thing, not much more than a husk of the one that had left the message earlier. Tereska's letter was sitting on the table, pinned down by a bottle of Bart's scotch. It was the kind of alcohol Katherine never touched.

The bottle was half-empty. It hadn't all been him.

Her fingernails rattled as she tapped them against her glass, walking back to the table and pouring a very small amount in the bottom. Just enough to color it.

	"Yes." She folded her hands in her lap, eyes fixed on Tereska's face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It wasn't wrong," she said gently - at least, gently for her. "I'm not sure how far word about your condition's gotten, but you'd better assume that it's not a secret any longer." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Katherine stood up, skin pinking from the flush of alcohol and anger. The steps that she took were those of a lioness circling a jackal. Her lips were slightly parted, breath clouding against them as she considered words. She took one final step closer. Then she drew her arm back and punched, fist striking bone, her knuckles aching with the hit. She hoped Tereska bled. (Reply to this) (Parent)
