[ A duo of options today for those seeking out Selina Kyle. After all, she basically does live a dual life. Doesn't she? Pick either scenario and you'll have either the femme fatale cat burglar, or the woman that most of Mandalus seems to know. Just comment with which option you'd like!

OPTION 1; Night. For all those good doers (the cops, the

Option 2 because yes

[Raven had promised to drop by, and breakfast was one of the most telling diner meals. Plus, she's been missing pancakes she didn't have to do all the work for. She hadn't been expecting Selina, but she stops by her table with a shy smile anyway.]

Morning.

[adaptably]

[ Selina glances up at her with a smirk. ]

I didn't think you'd be up this early.

[softenedbyme]

[She takes the chair opposite Selina and shrugs.]

I don't know what you mean.

[adaptably]

[ The look she gives Raven says that no teenager is up before 8:00AM when there's no school to go to. ]

Of course you don't.

[softenedbyme]

I've never been very good at sleeping in.

[She supposes it's a long-ingrained habit, even her years with Charles never quite shook it.]

Should I be asking why you're up so early?

[adaptably]

You must have had a very, very sad childhood.

[ Kids are supposed to sleep in. Seriously. ]

I didn't sleep last night. It's easier to grab breakfast on the way back home than to eat out late at night.

[softenedbyme]

[Raven doesn't react to the statement. Most would agree that before Charles her life was sad, but she isn't about to talk about that.]

Should I be asking you about why you were out? [She leans forward with a half-curious smile.]

[adaptably]

[ Welcome to the land of disappointment, Raven. ]

I'm doing my part to help win the war. Aren't you?

[softenedbyme]

...Aren't we all?

[adaptably]

I'd say some people are doing more than others. What are you doing?

[softenedbyme]

[Learning to fly. Practicing shifting.]

Trying to learn to fight.

[adaptably]

It doesn't sound like your teacher is very good at it if you're still trying to learn.

[softenedbyme]

[...Who said there was an actual teacher?]

Everything takes time.

[adaptably]

[ Oh, Raven. Darling. ]

There's a different between taking time and not actually learning how to fight.

[softenedbyme]

[Who is she supposed to ask?]

You don't think I know?

[adaptably]

[ With how helpful everyone is? Come on. ]

I think you're trying to teach yourself and it's not very successful.
