Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Wick (Sep 29, 2002 09:59 p.m.):[/b] It wasn't the little bruises around Kat's throat that made her uneasy. Any lover that Kat took would be likely to leave those; it was almost undoubtedly a prerequisite. If anything, they were less that what she'd expected. No, it was the attitude Kat was radiating that made her quit smiling. Wick had been frightened of Kat before, but never without an undercurrent of understanding. She'd always known what Kat was angry at her for, and that made it bearable. Now that feline gaze was burning into her with vicious happiness that told her Katera was [i]enjoying[/i] her fear, and that wasn't how the game was supposed to go. They were supposed to taunt one another and reaffirm their bond. This was all wrong. Why was Kat angry with her now? "That's awfully pretty. Did Jorry give that to you?" Wick glanced automatically down to the ruby ring on her finger and then looked up again, narrowing her eyes as her guard rushed up to protect her against this incomprehensible attack. "Are you married? It's too bad we didn't know sooner, we could have had a [i]party[/i]." [i]Why is she asking about Jorry? And why [/i]we[i]? How should I know who this new lover is?[/i] Wick's mind had long been trained to guess at explanations, to gauge probabilities. Even concerning people she'd never met before, she felt confident that given enough data about their personal situations she could easily predict their reactions. Her inability to read Katera had unsettled her, but her mind did not like to accept excuses as weak as that one. Internally and instantaneously, she wiped her mental slate and made a list of facts to draw a new conjecture. [i]Kat has a lover, and expects this to be significant to me. Kat is angry with me. Kat is enjoying making me suffer. Kat...Kat has a lover...[/i] And the horrible light began to dawn, a dull grey light with shades of slate and cloud and silver hiding in it. Wick felt her face and hands go cold, and stared at Kat with undisguised disbelief. [i]She's either mad...or I am. At least, I hope I am.[/i] "Yes, a shame," she responded slowly, the fear in her eyes not yet tainting her tone. "Are you alright, Kat? It's not healthy to live too far in the past." She held her breath without meaning to.[/quote]
