( ahhh, bless. when they're home - let's think when - she's gonna have to come over when he's around. )
Not surprised. ( Jay seems to take to most things easily. he doesn't really bother to worry when something goes wrong. Kate's not sure she's ever seen him stressed, actually. )
True enough. ( she's never really tried to get settled here, kept everything as spartan as possible in her flat, her room. it's not like there's exactly great interior decorating here.
but, after months, it gets harder to draw certain lines. it's harder to let yourself ignore people, when they're all here because of the same thing. when you're all playthings. )
[Yeah let's not go there. Faith's not in the mood right now. It's the beginning of the day, and she wants to start it with silly, normal things like doing your best friend's pretty pink hair.]
Not as good as the one you did, but still good! [She picks up one of the mirrors and lifts it up behind Kate.] Go on, have a look.
( yeah. things should be calm in this time of day. nothing that plagues their thoughts for the rest of the day should come into focus. that's how Kate has always used this time. everything but the realistic things. the sad things.
she picks up her mirror, looking over her shoulder, and lets herself smile for a brief second. )
( Faith would look pretty with a fishtail plait over one shoulder. maybe a twist plait if she's feeling fancy, but first she has to remember how to do the basics. )

Yeh. Took to this place real quick for the bit he was here. Would've been nice to keep 'im 'round, but at least we've got the pictures now.

Good reminder not to get settled here, yeh? Never know what could happen, to you or anyone else.

How's it look?
( that's a safer topic than that. )

Great.
( and, actually. ) You ever do fishtail plaits?
( because she might have an idea for next time. )
no subject
No, never heard of 'em!
[But you can bet she's going to ask you to do them next time.]
