I do. There's a place that has some fun drinks. A bit of variety, too. So if you like a stronger hit or not, there's options.
There were drinks based on mystical creatures and magic types.
The Dark Magic Elixer was particularly powerful. The place is called the Cauldrun. It's kinda kitsch sounding, but the staff is nice and drinks are good.
[Welp. She knows where he is. And he assumes how to get there. Time to see if Kate was joking or not. Morgan idly waits by the door, arms folded, in what he considers to be a cool pose.]
( you can't rush a woman, Morgan. even Kate. she needs a minute or two to get out of what she's currently wearing because she isn't going to need it when she gets there. and really, why waste the time when you have a cloak you can shuck off and you look great in nothing but your underwear?
so it takes a few minutes before he hears a knock on the door and she lets herself in, pulling down the hood of her cloak and shaking her hair loose, reaching for the clasp to let it drop to the floor when— )
There is absolutely no way to look cool while you're waiting in an inn room for an incredibly hot girl to show up. So I figured I'd at least wait in a stupid way that made me look good, instead of like a lost little puppy waiting eagerly for a treat.
[He straightens up, smiling, then reaches around her to click the lock shut on the door. And put himself very close to her, as an oh-so-innocent side benefit...]
You would not believe the morning I had… apparently half my allies decided the weather was perfect for early morning grocery shopping.
[Can Kate sense the embarrassment from this end of the call? She’d not felt the urge to lock herself in her room and hide this badly since the whole meme incident!]
( it takes a few rings for Kate to pick up, mostly because she's halfway through climbing a building when it happens.
but oh boy was picking up worth it. while Kate's decision to leave before the sun had properly risen was mostly her own restlessness, managing to avoid even the early risers she knows was quite lucky on her part. )
( oh, Baiken, you gem. she's more than happy to receive this while running through the normal duties of the gym. )
Feelin' festive?
( it's been weird being here for the first Christmas where she can properly process existing in Avalon, but the people who are giving out gifts have helped. a little bit. )
[ a gold-wrapped box arrives! inside is a sampler of different kinds of boozy chocolate — because "what kind of chocolate are you into" isn't a conversation izō recalls having. so! there's dark chocolate and milk chocolate and also white chocolate and all of the little round treats are filled with a different kind of alcoholic concoction and not just for the flavour, they still retain their boozy potency~ ]
( they did not! perhaps they should have, because Kate doesn't even remember the last time she ate chocolate. at least the card that explains each chocolate is very clear about the alcohol in them too.
so, as any responsible boss does, Kate is just gonna keep these in her office and pick her way through them for the rest of the month. perhaps longer. )
[Getting Kate out of her work hole was difficult for a little while there, but Rei has finally pestered her into a night in drinking at her place. HELL yeah!!
They talk about a whole lot of nothing for a while, sat on her couch, in that comfortable sort of way friends can. Lord knows they've needed a break after the ginormous disaster that was February.]
...and so, Sasara goes-- When's your birthday? while doing a lap around the room. [Yeah... Rosho's birthday (march 1st) came and went in some craziness, but it didn't go unobserved.] Swear his jokes get dumber every year. Heh!
( the days go by and, eventually, Kate doesn't think so much about the Wild Hunt. it's impossible to ignore or forget the thing in the sky, but at least her skin stops itching. the scratches clear up, and whatever new scars there are from the fights have faded into being all but indistinguishable from any of the others she already had.
one more battle in a life filled with too many of them. what's new?
well, drinking at home with a friend is. kinda. it's not like she gets many chances to do this at home — years of being in other countries following orders in the military, then sent on trains and to hotel rooms in the name of clearing things out back in the UK don't exactly lend themselves to finding the time to invite a friend around for drinks. or, well, have a friend invite themself around for drinks.
so she lets Rei talk about his teammates, is pretty sure she doesn't get the joke but there's a bottle of beer in her hand and her legs are pretzeled comfortably beneath her, the lavender plants by the room high window slowly beginning to come back to colour.
(once upon a time, the view from that window was quite nice. now all you can see is the Calamity, looming over buildings.)
there's a beat after Rei's story, long enough to change the subject to something that comes to mind as he talked; )
My place? [He DOES have an apartment of his own, technically. But there's stuff in there he needs to keep unhooked from his identity, and it's not REALLY furnished, since...] Gave it up in the last refugee surge and moved in with the boys. So you can come by if you want, but only if you don't mind getting a year's worth of manzai in three minutes.
[Don't bother doing the math on what that means for Rei's manzai overdose.]
That, and it's not exactly conducive to fooling around. [He winks.] Unless you got an exhibition kink, Kate-chan?
[After an awkward series of misunderstandings with Rei, Medea had come to the 'logical' conclusion that Kate must have told Rei about her identity. Rei knew her, after all, how else would he have found out she was a Princess?]
Kate- listen, I ran into that friend of yours who's statue was put up alongside mine. The suspicious older man with the obnoxious sense of dress- Rei, wasn't it?
[Such a flattering description...but how to ask the question? She didn't want to sound too accusatory- although, perhaps it came across that way regardless. It hadn't occurred to her that Kate probably didn't know herself.]
...Were you the one who told him that I was a Princess during my lifetime?
