Ill Winds

I tried to talk to Katchoo. It didn't go well.

It was just not a good day. Can I get a do-over?

Well. Talking to Lucien was nice at least.

I'm so cold.

lucien, katchoo

"Hi, hon. Brr," Sel greets Ali, returning home from the Nexus. "I met someone neat today."

"Oh?" She motions Sel towards a chair that should be mostly sheltered from the wind. She herself is huddled under several blankets, with out her gloved hands exposed for writing. "Who?"

Sel plunks into the seat. "Ananova. She said she knows Captain Hook."

She drops her pen, and makes no move to retrieve it. She doesn't seem to be moving at all.

((And that last post should have been "with only her gloved hands". I've got the dumb today.))

((Poor dear.))

Sel gives Ali a puzzled, concerned frown. "Hon? Something wrong?"

She blinks, shakes her head, and picks up her pen again. "No, no, of course not, what could be wrong? I was...I was just struck by how exceptionally wonderful it is that he's found his lost love again."

Which definitely explains why she sounds heartbroken, doesn't it?

It takes a few blinks for Sel to realize what she's done. "Aw, no. I'm such a--I'm sorry, Ali, I really am." Rising from her chair, she makes her way to Ali to offer hugs of comfort.

"There's no reason for you to apologize. I'm very happy for him." And she is. "I have a lot of work to do." She really does, there's a whole stack of it under a few heavy rocks. "Don't you need to get ready for work?"

"Yeah," Sel answers guiltily. "Can we have a hug before I go?"

"Of course." Brave face, fake smile, quick hug. It's the best she can do at the moment. "Have a good night at work."

"Will do." She gives Ali a quick peck on the forehead. "Want me to pick anything up on my way home? Ice cream, pickles, a BLT?"

"No, thank you. Have a good night."
