[Sitting in the shade and reading a magazine about weddings. Yes, she brought the magazine with her. Danger! Danger Will Robinson! Do not look interested in it. Trust me.]
[Kitty supposes in retrospect, she is kind of an adult now, too. Working on a career, getting married-- where has her youth gone? With Mrs. Altman, though, she feels just like a kid again.]
They finally let me out of the library for two minutes so I could get some fresh air. How are you?? I haven't seen you in a while.
[Kitty flops down next to her, only now noticing the magazines. Oh Sarah. Why so cute.
... was SHE looking to get married?]
Working on my PhD is taking longer than I expected. Considering I breezed through school as a kid, I kind of had a big ego about it. But I'm getting there little by little.
[Sarah notices Kitty's glance at the magazine and smiles, knowingly. It's probably ten times less effective/foreboding than normal, just because she knows Kitty's planning on getting married.]
Mmm. Things have been pleasant. Of course I'm still working for Dr. Banner, but I've been working with the kids at Selina's orphanage a lot, too. It's been rewarding. And all the kids are doing well. Duck got the lead role in the production her company's putting on, and Sasami's doing well in school. The other kids are all busy with school or their jobs. It's been nice.
[): Sarah likes weddings and wants to go to some. You can't blame her for trying.]
He talks about you a lot. I know he misses having you around, but he's also very proud. [A smile.] For that matter, so am I. Getting your PhD is very impressive.
Very subtle, Mrs. Altman. Right now a big wedding is kinda... it's not that it's not a nice thought-- it really is-- but you know. After traveling and not having a steady job and...
[There is a pause there.]
Extra expenses coming up, it's just going to have to be pushed to a future time.

Oh wow! You've been doing good things. I still see Dr. B like, every week. He gets so lonely without me around.

If it ever happens in this lifetime!
I miss hanging out with you guys, too. I'll have to come over more often.

So you can bombard him with wedding magazines?

Gently nudge them in his direction, maybe.

Extra expenses? With school?

[Kitty is now looking at the magazines with a renewed sense of interest, trying not to look Sarah in the eye. So awkward.]
