[ she shrugs. ] It's just the way he is.

[ katherine imagines it's an amplification of stefan's guilt, which is something she doesn't feel needs to be said to anyone who isn't stefan. that broodiness had existed in 1864 long before he turned, but she thinks it's been amplified over the years from his bloodied past. ]

He's the pensive journalling type. I'm sure if he wanted to, he could write some very angsty poetry. [ she cracks a smile. ]

[rocinantes]

You don't think he already has?

( sounds like he probably has a journal of poetry somewhere. he smirks. )

You like that, huh?

[manipulative]

Like what?

[ katherine stops smiling as she regards him with a pointedly unamused look. oh, she knows exactly what "that" is. she just doesn't want to admit it. ]

[rocinantes]

You like the brooding, angsty, broken kind, huh?

( yeah, he's gonna tease her. he's earned it. )

[manipulative]

[ katherine rolls her eyes. ]

I do.

[ she knows he's teasing her and she refuses to grow flustered. she's simply too old for that. ]

The angsty types are a lot better than the arrogant ones. They can at least take a joke.

[rocinantes]

What, that doesn't send him crying off somewhere?

( he smirks a little. )

Cuz you've hurt his feelings?

[manipulative]

[ she looks at him pointedly, arching her eyebrow. ]

If it does, are you going to comfort me?

[rocinantes]

I don't do comfort.

( so, no. )

You should know that.

[manipulative]

Some friend you are.

[ katherine continues to walk, her strides long and confident despite not feeling confident at all. although her abilities are technically heightened, well… she's well-travelled, but not as well-travelled in the trench as she'd like. ]

If there's a man-eating bear in these woods, I'm not going to save you.

[rocinantes]

What makes you think I need to be saved?

( he could take a bear. )

I've fought bears before.

[manipulative]

[ she regards him with an incredulous arch of her brow. ]

How is this the first time I'm hearing about it?

[ spill the tea, jaime lannister. ]

[rocinantes]

I didn't now you were that interested.

( he starts to laugh at her exclamation though. )

You find that kind of thing hot?

[manipulative]

Depends.

[ she scrunches up her face. while katherine enjoys flirting, she's a little more interested in the bears. ]

When did you fight a bear? Why did you fight a bear? Is this some weird space initiation thing they leave out of all the movies?

[rocinantes]

God, you're really interested in this.

( he smirks. )

It was a space bear.

[manipulative]

[ she immediately rolls her eyes. ]

You're making this up.

[rocinantes]

Am I? Prove it.

( you can't. )
