I12DT - Hunting Fish

[Theresa McMasters]

Theresa knocked quietly on Kay's door, hoping Regan wasn't around. She really didn't feel like being combative again.

[Kay Haddock]

"Yeah? Come on in." comes Kay's voice from inside.

[Theresa McMasters]

"It's me," Theresa said, opening the door slowly.

[Kay Haddock]

"Oh, hey." she says a bit awkwardly, looking up from her laptop.

[Theresa McMasters]

"I really don't know how to start. I guess... I'm sorry. I was a bitch and you didn't deserve that."

[Kay Haddock]

"I... guess I wasn't really much better. I don't think there's anyone I didn't piss off the last two weeks."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Yeah, I know how that is," she said sheepishly.

[Kay Haddock]

"Friends again?" she asks with a hopeful smile.

[Theresa McMasters]

"Yeah, friends again," she said, moving over to hug Kay.

[Kay Haddock]

Kay gives Theresa a squeeze, trying hard to not let it be awkward.

"Okay I have to ask... What's with the eyes?"

[Theresa McMasters]

"New, possibly permanent thing," she said. "Long-ish story."

[Kay Haddock]

"Hey, we can be weird eye buddies." she chuckles. "And I got time if you wanna talk..."

[Theresa McMasters]

"It involves a knock-down, drag-out with Regan, so I'm not sure you'd really want to hear it."

[Kay Haddock]

She sighs. "No, I guess I don't."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Mr. Gabriel says there doesn't appear to be anything actually wrong with it, so it may just be something I need to live with. The eyes, not the fight with Regan thing."

[Kay Haddock]

"Well yeah. Everyone has to deal with the later, right?" she jokes. "But I bet you could look all ominous now with the right expression."

[Theresa McMasters]

Theresa schooled her face into something that might one day resemble an ominous expression.

[Kay Haddock]

"Like that! Just, you know, actually mean." she snickers.

[Theresa McMasters]

Theresa stuck her tongue out at Kay, "I can be intimidating. Just don't want to."

[Kay Haddock]

"Totally. You can be positively ferocious." she teases.

[Theresa McMasters]

Theresa sobered up a bit. "So how are you doing?"

[Kay Haddock]

"I dunno. Okay, I guess. I missed hanging out with you and Brigid."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Maybe we can hit a movie or something sometime. Assuming Brigid hasn't disowned us both in frustration."

[Kay Haddock]

"Sounds good. My treat, okay? I owe you two an apology."

[Theresa McMasters]

"What do you owe us an apology for?" Theresa sounded puzzled.

[Kay Haddock]

"Well I obviously owe you and I owe Brigid for flaunting her power and being mean to her when she got upset about that."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Well, I'm obviously not going to argue with someone else paying."

[Kay Haddock]

"Good." she smiles. "I made a little bit of money on donations and commissions."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Cool! Glad to hear that whole thing is working out for you."

[Kay Haddock]

"Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Thanks again for helping me set everything up."

[Theresa McMasters]

"No problem. If you need something, just ask. I tend to be pretty free with my advice."

[Kay Haddock]

"I'll let you know when I break something." she chuckles.

[Theresa McMasters]

"I suppose I should let you get back to whatever it was that you were up to."

[Kay Haddock]

"Just catching up on some homework."

[Theresa McMasters]

"I need to do some of that myself, but I think I'm going to go find Brigid first."

[Kay Haddock]

"Alright. See you later!"
