Last week, Kathy had been an utter lump, eating ice cream and playing sad music and watching a lot of TV while she got used to life without the guys. This week wasn't actually much easier, but Kathy's tolerance for her own moping had run out and left her needing to do something that wasn't just dwell.
Fortunately, it wasn't like she was lacking in options. With the guys gone and Raven spending most of her time out in the woods, the house was just too big and full of memories. So she was moving back to the apartment above Luke's - along with Raven, at least nominally - and this week she'd really gotten her ass in gear when it came to packing. Most of the upstairs was packed, even if those boxes were still mostly stacked downstairs, and now she was just cleaning out their old rooms of the detritus the always seemed to accumulate under furniture and in corners.
Like this old credit card bill of Dante's from...April of 2017. Kathy snorted and rolled her eyes, preparing to toss it into the bin that was half-full of junk when she noticed that one of the items on there was in Hangul. Wait. Had Dante been learning stuff in Korean?
Wait. 김치 크림 파이. Was that a-- Kathy grabbed her phone and did a quick search and yep. It was pretty much exactly the kind of website she'd been expecting with a name like that. Definitely didn't have to do with desserts, that was for damn sure.
"Oh." She wasn't entirely sure what to make of it, especially since that was back when everything had still been really...rough...between them. They'd been friends, in a tentative kind of manner, but no more. So then why...?
"Hi, Portalocity? I've got a portal scheduled to Limbo City for later on this evening, but I was wondering, could I bump it up to earlier than that? Something this afternoon would be good, yeah."
[Open for calls, texts, and visitors before she goes, and LC folks afterwards!]

Date: 2018-09-18 05:57 am (UTC)"Missed you, too," she murmured. "It feels wrong to have days that you're not a part of."
Lest that sound too overly-sentimental, she added, "Does give us a lot to make up for on the weekends, though."

Date: 2018-09-18 07:47 am (UTC)It wasn't really important; she didn't need Dante to tell her that. But she couldn't help but be curious about all the ways they'd changed. Incremental progress was hard to track but made for some amazing leaps when you looked back.

"I can see you thinking," he mused, tracing a line (imaginary? maybe) on her forehead.
