[Action]

[Today, Katie visits the Item Shop.  It's a short visit, and she's there to pick up anything remotely string-like that she can find. Why?  Kittens like string, and she's all out of the stash she had.

...okay, she may have other less frivolous reasons.  By this time she's mindful that certain grown ups may be looking for her, and thus her visit is hopefully timed for as few people around as possible.  In, out, a polite nod to the person behind the counter with the pretty hair, and back to the woods she goes.  Anyone that does see her in person might note she's thinner, but clean and tidy, unlike her last accidental appearance. 

She goes far deep into the forest with her string, sitting on a large, flat rock in the sun next to Rei's charm, and unwinds every different strand around her in the grass, threading it all carefully and lovingly between her fingertips as if blessing each one.  In a sense, she is.   The glamour she's stolen recently is going to a good cause, even if the cause is not readily apparent.]



((ooc:  you can run into her in the item shop by all means.  She's all the way down at the southernmost edge of the forest for anyone who might be out that way-- or might be using other means to search for someone.

Chances of hostility are pretty high.))

Hi. I -- hi.

[ a soft stammer; an embarrassed, self-deprecating smile. whatever buffy might suspect or assume or even have heard rumoured from others in her life, she still seems happy to see the girl. ] Long time no see. You're looking...

[ smaller. buffy clears her throat. ] It's nice to see you.

[Vash picks up on the soft humming. He moves towards the sound, not knowing the song. After some time he finally finds Katie, he doesn't like how thin she's looking, but he's just glad to finally have found her.

He moves forward as he speaks her name quietly. Not wanting to startle her too much.]
Hello, Katie.

Well it was in a history book. I think it said something about comics. But if comics are books, they gotta be somewhere in the library, right?

Oh? So the thing that was chasing you is gone?

[Does he feel...anything amiss?]

I met your friend Brook recently too. The skeleton.
goldenglasses: (What-a-what?)

[He moves closer to her. Looking to sit next to her.] How long have you been out here? You've lost weight. [Blunt seems the better way to start for now.]

...Looking like you're seriously in need of a cheeseburger. Extra pickles.

[ her concern is likely evident, but she wraps it up in humour. ]

The shadow.

[Luke notes her change in expression and raises an eyebrow]

Brook seemed in high spirits, if...a little skeletal. Though he tells me that's normal for him.

[He can't feel the Nervosa, but that's what he'd consider the shadow. It's far to distant to pick up on]

...Maybe we can talk them into a single Happy Meal delivery. At least that'll come with a toy.

[ is jack okay? buffy makes the iffy mistake of taking the time to actually worry over her answer. there were the ever-developing problems around joyce. the tension with spike. the lingering malaise of their last fight.

but... ]


I'm looking after him. I know he'd like to see you. You manage to trip his worry-wires. That's quite impressive, given what kinda man he is.

[He changes his mind about sitting when he gets a good look at just how much string Katie has around her. Huh, strange, but he thinks better then stepping on any of it. So instead he'll move in front of her, crouching low to be at her eye level.]

Well, I think you've lost more weight than you needed to. [He frowns, looking Katie over carefully.] Have you been living out here?

No, I haven't. Dragons have comics?

The one that you'd managed to hide from last time I saw you.

[He gives her an amused look at the joke though]

You're a funny kid, you know that?

goldenglasses: (And that one looks like a bunny!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2012-10-27 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
I know it's rude, but I worry, it's not healthy to lose too much weight too fast you know. And, did you want me to change?
