SPRING BREAK, Cyseal, Monday Morning

[endsthegame]

Good morning, Fandom!

And a good one it was: the sun was shining brightly, infusing the city with warmth. Birds were singing, and a gentle breeze wafted through town (it only faintly smelled like sulfur up in the northern quarters).

Time to get up, explore Cyseal, and make friends with the neighbors!

Hey, she'd beat up a bunch of skeletons earlier. It was enough to make any teenage superball hungry!

"Just watch, huh?" Kathy asked, waggling her eyebrows at him. "I see how it's going to be. A good bestie would have suggested I join in." Then she paused, considering. "Hey. Is it going to be weird for you if Dante and I keep...?"

"Well, if you wanted to join in, we probably wouldn't stop you," Anders said, and snickered.

Then, more seriously: "Maybe it'll be a tiny bit weird, but that doesn't matter. You were with him first, and I'm not enough of a hypocrite to tell you who you can sleep with when I'm not offering fidelity in return. Tell me I'm better in bed than he is and I'll be happy. Lie if you have to."

So maybe he wasn't that serious.

"Oh no, I'm not stupid enough to get in the middle of something like that," Kathy said, laughing. "I'm just going to keep saying that I need to collect more data points before I can be certain of my findings."

"And if you're going for data points, it's unfair that he has so many more than I do," Anders grinned at her, appreciating the diplomacy of her answer. "I was thinking about going back to the hotel for a rest after lunch. Want to come with me?"

It was for science, Kathy!

Who was Kathy to turn down science?

"I think I'll have had enough sun by then to appreciate a chance to head inside," she said, ducking her head a bit and grinning. "Trying to get down to nine-hundred and ninety-five then?"

Re: Cyseal - The Beach

Anders grinned back, boyish and pleased. "Exactly. We have to keep going if we want to make any headway before you're off to college."

Kathy finished off her sandwich in three big bites--another reason to be grateful they were going with friends with benefits, she didn't have to think about all the times her mom nagged that men didn't like to see pretty girls eat--and decided that the rest of her lunch could wait until after their...nap. They'd probably appreciate having something to eat then, anyway.

"I do like having goals," she said, shrugging into an oversized shirt so she wasn't walking through town in a bright pink bikini. Bouncing up to her feet, she offered him a hand up--and would keep it even after he was standing up if he'd let her.

Re: Cyseal - The Beach

It wouldn't have occurred to Anders to judge how much Kathy ate, but inner voices never took things like that into account.

He took the hand she offered and didn't let go.

"And I like helping you with your goals," he said. "Let's go."
