OOM: Kate's room again.

[themanclion]

It's been a few weeks since he last saw her. The first one, he spent making up for not being able to drink the week before. The few after that - well. He's well aware that their last conversation didn't go too well. It seemed sensible to steer clear, and he wasn't all that happy with her either, was he

She's surprised to hear someone knocking at this hour, and that surprise doesn't go away when he announces who it is with his gruff Mancunian accent. She hesitates to answer, wondering if he'll go away should she make it seem like she's not in.

"Just a minute."

She knocks Guildenstern from her lap with a sigh, and sets her book down. It takes her a little time to get to the door. She isn't going to be answering it in her undergarments or her robe, so she slips on a dress and pulls her damp braid free of the collar, draping it over one shoulder.

The door only opens a crack.

"Hello."

[themanclion]

'Hello.'

Beat.

'You gonna let me in, or what?'

[ikissdhimbck]

"Depends on what y'want."

[themanclion]

He huffs out a breath, and looks away.

'To talk to you, obviously.'
