I'm sure you fed quite a few to the kids you went to preschool with. [ this seems legit, tbh, vi can see kat still doing it.

she leans back, pushing her hair over her shoulder. ]

How's tricks, Kit Kat? I feel like I missed so much when I was busy incubating.

[shootfirst]

It's not like there's been a lot going on around here. We're a little light on explosions.

[graveflowers]

So blow something up. [ duh. YOU HAVE THE MEANS, KATHRYNE. MAKE IT HAPPEN. ]

[shootfirst]

It's just not the same.

[graveflowers]

I'll call in some favors. Get you a dragon to fight in no time, babe. I get the restlessness, though. My whole life has been fighting monsters and evil and battles to tell your grandkids about and now it's just... calm. It's fucking creepy.

[shootfirst]

At least you've got something to focus on. All I've got is a dumb boyfriend.

[graveflowers]

I happen to think your dumb boyfriend is kind of great, you know. And I know you do to. [ shrug. ] Why don't you ask Wynn to send you on a quickie mission?

[shootfirst]

Cuz what really compares to the kind of shit we deal with on the daily?

[graveflowers]

[ vi's peal of laughter makes lucia's arms and legs flail out, startled, which only makes vi laugh harder. ] You need Jesus, Kathryne.

[shootfirst]

I'm not really sure he'd see where I'm comin' from.

[graveflowers]

I dunno, he might. Maybe not Jesus, but God, though. I hear he was big on raining down destruction.

[shootfirst]

See, now, that's the kind of guy I could get behind.

[graveflowers]

Maybe you should befriend Jupiter. [ a pause, as she remembers who zeus is. ] You know what, maybe not Jupiter, in case he's too much like Zeus. Probably a bad idea. Bellona though, you'd love Bellona though. She's the goddess of war. Romans, including me, invoke her before going to war. In case she decides to help us out.

[shootfirst]

I knew you guys were cool.

[graveflowers]

There's a reason I took down that spider in Chicago with one shot. [ she sighs fondly. good times. a beat. ] Wait, weren't you...? Oh, you weren't even there, you were breaking into the morgue. Kat, you missed it! My shining moment after the Salami Train Adventure!

[shootfirst]

I hope I'm not supposed to feel bad about missing a giant spider.

[graveflowers]

You are! I was amazing for five seconds and you missed it. [ she throws a flower at kat. ]

[shootfirst]

You're amazing 24/7, goober.

[graveflowers]

This is true, thank you for reminding me. [ she scoops up lucia who makes a noise like a surly goat at being pulled from the grass, but vi shoves her little finnick bunny in her face and all is immediately well as she gnaws on his ear. ] Wanna get some pizza? I'm starving.

[ so they probs do that tbh. yay! ]

[shootfirst]

[ they do the thing! ]
