Why are you worried about me?

( if he was with her, he was safe, wasn't he? he could just hide behind her. )

I can take care of myself. Always have been, always will. Besides, I don't hear shit.

[manipulative]

[ because he's her friend! but katherine's not going to say that. that just gives him the opportunity to make fun of her, and she wants to provide him with fewer chances to do that. ]

You might want to try and play the hero.

[ she shrugs nonchalantly. ]

I might be busy trying to stop the wall from caving in. You never know. Hm. [ she furrows her brows as she looks around. ] It's quieter here.

[rocinantes]

What did you even hear?

( because all she's done is tell him that she heard something but not what that sound was. )

Describe it.

[manipulative]

It sounded like the tunnel was moving. Shifting sounds. And rats scurrying in the far distance.

[ she looks at him and cocks her brow. ]

Do you like rats?

[rocinantes]

Love 'em.

( that was not true. )

Do you?

[manipulative]

[ liar.

with a pointed once-over at him, katherine curls her lip up and shrugs a shoulder. ]

They're not the worst thing in the world. But if we do see one, you're going to kill it. [ she lifts her hands and flicks her fingers. ] I just got a manicure.

[rocinantes]

Why am I gonna kill it?

( amos makes a face at her and rolls his eyes. )

We should just follow it. It might know the way out of here.

[manipulative]

Because they're disgusting?

[ she scrunches up her face. considering she had met a few rats in the tomb, she can cosign that they're not the most helpful of vermin. (damon sits slightly above them, surprisingly.) ]

Why would a rat show us the way out? It's a rat.

[rocinantes]

It wouldn't show us the way out because it knows we're trying to get out but —

( amos rolls his eyes. )

They tend to be able to find ways out. They're fucking vermin, they survive.
