Raven sat next to Karla and eyed her. Feel her judgmental staaaaare.

Karla felt it. And was confused from whence it came.

"Raven, this isn't the first time you've seen me eat meat," she chided, sipping at her water. "It's not like this was a kindred cow or anything of the sort."

"It is not the meat," Raven said. She was used to other people consuming animal flesh and didn't let it bother her. "It is something else. But this setting is not appropriate to speak of it, I think. Lady Ghanima might become upset."

Teenage girls discussing vibrators in a fancy restaurant was probably not proper etiquette.

Almost certainly not, no.

"What?" Karla asked, puzzled. "Did I do something?" She thought back to what she'd been up to over the past couple of days, mind skipping right over that. "Is this about skipping my lunch break to go drinking with Cloud?" she asked. "Because being a male means drinking at three in the afternoon is perfectly acceptable."

"No," Raven said, though the thought of Karla going out drinking wasn't entirely comforting. "What you did...last night."

Karla set her waterglass down with an audible thump.

"And just what," she asked, slowly, turning towards Raven with wide eyes, "do you think I did last night?"

Raven blushed. "We are at dinner, Karla," she reminded her.

Oh yeah. This was going to be great.

Giving anyone nearby a charming smile, Karla stood, removing the napkin from her lap and placing it carefully next to her plate. "Excuse us," she said cheerfully, dropping her hand to Raven's arm. "We just need to use the withdrawing room a moment."

Okay, this restaurant probably didn't even have a withdrawing room. That's fine. Karla was perfectly happy dragging Raven into the ladies' room if she had to. "Raven, come on."

Raven let herself be dragged away from the table, politely smiling as they left the table. Maybe bringing this up hadn't been such a great idea after all. But she was concerned. Really!

When they were safely in the ladies' room, she blushed even more and murmured, "I know what you did last night."

Fortunately, as this was an upscale restaurant, the bathroom was suitably secure and private, set up like a lounge. Karla locked the door and put an aural shield around the room for good measure before whirling around and facing Raven. "What? How?! Ugh, speak!"

Raven cringed back against the wall. "I watch over you with my gifts," she admitted. "I cannot see or hear, of course, just...feel. So that I will know if you are in danger, if you are hurt or afraid or angry. So I can come help you."

"What part of last night made you think I was in danger?" Karla growled with anger that was at least half made up of embarrassment. Possibly more.

"Because what you did could lead to other things!" Raven protested. Gateway vibrators, don't you know.

"Like what?!" Karla hissed. "In fact, I think it would...stop...me from doing other things! Because then I'm not dependent upon...anything else to do that for me!"

Darkness, if she wasn't so ticked at Raven right now, she'd be banging her head into the wall at the thought of even having this conversation.

"Or embolden you to seek more before you are ready!" Raven said. "I do not want you to be hurt or broken!"

And she wasn't jealous of what Karla would be seeking. AT ALL.

"Raven! We have rules in place to keep anything like that from happening," Karla said, frustrated. "I'm not going to take the chance of breaking myself, just because what I'm doing feels good."

She stepped forward and poked Raven in the chest. "In fact, I think if you were doing what I did last night, you wouldn't be upset with me!"
