Chapter 2202: Washing an Old Wound |
--- Kat ---
Kat sat in the corner, snuggling with Lily while she waited for the idiots to stop arguing. Originally, she was going to help with unpacking the equipment, but when she brought it up that just made the argument WORSE. They couldn’t decide if it was better to set everything up downstairs where it was safer, even if they were going to set up the wards above... or if they should leave everything upstairs where there was space and clean separation so that everyone had their own workstations.
Now that was all wrapped up in the same argument over which would be better, which would be more or less work and frankly? Nobody seemed to be able to agree on either of those things. Even now that they’d seen the basement area it apparently hadn’t made things any clearer for them. It was somewhat annoying and Kat really just wanted to tell them to stop being idiots... but it’s not like she knew anything about enchanting. She had no idea which was the better idea or how to argue for one side or the other... plus this did give her time to snuggle Lily.
*Ah it’s so nice to be back together. Sure we’ve been chatting mentally but it’s just not the same. I could do without the background noise... but this is just great.*
Kat pointedly didn’t respond to that but she was happy that Lily would be going. Of course, that now raised the question of... *Should I go as well? I don’t feel particularly traumatised but you’re right, if the price isn’t too high it might be worth doing anyway. Probably wouldn’t see the same therapist for a number of reasons... but it might be worth looking into together. Plus I can sign up for a guild properly. I think I might already be part of Lust technically, but not sure I ever properly locked that in.*
[One more thing to do once we finish up here isn’t it?]
*Yeah I guess so. Do... do you think we’re getting towards the end? This has been the longest round of the tournament by far. People aren’t really finding rule changing tokens and the middle has to open eventually... right?*
[It does... but the plan was always for us to destroy those pieces remember. Still think that’s the best idea?]
*Oh fuck right. I wasn’t really considering that angle. Tactically... yes we should. Probably. Less supplies for Greaves. Emotionally? I guess I’m not too wrung out. Though I hope everyone else is doing well.*
