Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Wick (Sep 28, 2002 01:35 a.m.):[/b] There was something different about Kat. The last time Wick had seen Katera up close, the girl had been in the same state she was in now: disheveled, angry and full of battle lust. That had been a change from what had become Kat's usual manner since the Engineering Bay catastrophe, which was silent, slow and empty. Wick had often wondered what kept the girl going when it was so obvious her spirit was crushed. She'd seen the marks on her sister's wrist. What she hadn't seen, and what she had never been able to decipher, was what had kept the girl from finishing what she'd started. On the other hand, soulless or not, that fight with Daniels over a year ago had brought life into her blank green eyes then. Maybe it was anger that made Kat whole, now that she'd been left alone. That made sense, and the expression on Katera's face as she turned and began to pummel the bag even harder than before supported that hypothesis. Wick could understand. It looked like Kat had finally come to terms with Nathan's death, and from the girl's response to her inquiry, it sounded like she'd gone back to what she knew, what she'd become comfortable with all those years she'd been in Charybdis. Hunting. Wick grinned. It would be nice to have Kat to tangle with while she stayed here. She and Kat were too similar to have a placid relationship, but Wick didn't really have much use for placid relationships, and Kat's taste in amusement wasn't too far from her own. [i]Speaking of...[/i] "I hope he's worth your time," she said with an amused quirk of her lips. Holding a hand out to stop the bag's motion, Kat stopped and half turned, returning her smile, but it wasn't the kind of smile she'd expected to receive. It wasn't the fierce camaraderie that should have been there. It was cold, and knowing, and held an element of contemptuous pity that took her quite by surprise. "He always was." Caught offguard by this inexplicable behavior, Wick blinked, but refused to be cowed. Was there some attachment she'd expected Wick to know about? Maybe she'd been checking up on her sister, and assumed that Wick had been doing the same. That possiblity made her feel a trifle guilty; she'd been too wrapped up in her own affairs to keep a proper eye on Kat, but then again, she'd always assumed Quistin could handle herself. Of course, it would probably be best to try to smooth things over now, and showing an interest was the simplest and quickest option available. She made her smile a little more friendly, a little less challenging. "Anyone I know?"[/quote]
