Barry's Old Warehouse, Warehouse District, Sunday Afternoon

So. The island could turn her back into an ex at literally any moment. That was not a thought that was good for Kathy's peace of mind. Being an ex again, for however short a time, had not been good for Kathy's peace of mind. She hadn't been a mindless husk that had seen everything that moved as 'prey,' no, but that was cold comfort when she had spent the day eating brains.

Sharing brains with other people.

Hunting small creatures to get--

Her stomach lurched again, just thinking about it. She hadn't eat much this past week just for that reason. It felt like February all over again, when eating had been a struggle, the very act bringing up memories she didn't want to relive.

Distantly, Kathy knew she should go home, deal with the mess left in her room, deal with the mess that was her life. And she would! She just--couldn't yet. Not while she still felt like this, ten pounds of crazy in a four pound bag. She just needed to get a handle on it--was trying to get a handle on it--and when she did, she'd go home. She'd apologize for worrying everyone, she'd clean up, she'd be okay.

Soon. Just not now.

"What, in my pizza/bakery/sex shop?" Kathy asked. "You'd obviously be my preferred test subject. Every new pizza, new baked good, and new sex toy would be tested on you first. Thoroughly."

"Just make sure you point 'em at the right holes," Dante joked.

"Hey, you look pretty with a cock in your mouth, even if it's made of silicon," Kathy said, and that wasn't a joke, even if it was said with humor. "But, c'mon. I know the fastest way to get you to break up with me--" She yawned "--is to waste good pizza."

"At least you finally get it," Dante said, shutting his eyes. "Think it'll be dark out when we wake up?"

"What, how seriously you take your pizza?" Kathy let out a sleepy laugh. "Dante, I knew that like five minutes after meeting you." She let her head droop, resting her cheek against his hair. "And probably. S'already getting on towards dusk. The stars'll be out by the time we get up."

By habit, she brushed her fingers over her new tattoo and then pressed a kiss to his head.

"Maybe we'll go looking at those," Dante mumbled.

Then he fell silent.

Or rather, asleep, arm still slung around Kathy.

"Best date," Kathy sighed and followed him to sleep soon after.
