"I am not an overgrown tape splicer," Kitt had told them. "You can do it just as well as I can."
Which explained why, when he'd managed to walk into the bar, he'd ended up just... standing there for a few long moments and finding it very tempting to go upstairs and stay there for a while.
Unfortunately, he was too loyal for that. Or maybe too masochistic.
So he stepped up to the bar instead and cursed one-year anniversaries and ordered, quietly. And he put down a credit card. It wouldn't be really needed, but it was better to use those things sometimes. He signed the slip when it appeared, and then, other things began to appear. Things he'd asked for, for the case, that they'd have no chance to get otherwise.
Adhering to Michael's plan meant some interesting purchases, which didn't need to show up on Foundation records. So Kitt bought clothes, and he bought equipment, and he bought medical tape. Which meant that things showed up in suitcases, in long, rectangular cases, in duffel bags. But most recognizable, there were two personal practice amps. And looking over the load, Kitt suddenly didn't feel like hauling it all out alone.
He wants me, but only part of the time
So he sat down, and he ordered a lemonade, too. He'd leave eventually. Just not right now. Like anyone would notice. Time was supposed to stop out there, while he was in here.
