[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.))

I don't understand, Katie. Is someone hurting you? Is that why you can't talk to me? If someone is trying to force you to do something Katie, you can tell me. I may not always act like it, but I'd make sure they wouldn't hurt you anymore.
no subject
[She's starting to lose patience.]
no subject
[Yes, he knows every bit of that is a lie.]
no subject
[Cold. And she tugs at her fingers for a moment, before looking at him.] Would you mind leaving? I'm too shy to perform in public.
no subject
Yes, you have, and I'm sorry Katie. [Part of him wants to respect her wish. To give her the space she wants, but he can't bring himself to do it. What if she comes across someone else like Wolfwood? Someone who may not hold back.]
What are you going to do, Katie? Why do you want me to leave you so badly?
no subject
Because you need a bath.
[And then Vash will find himself en route to the lake. Bon voyage. 8|]
no subject
[And Vash goes off towards the lake. Man, he was really hoping the trips like this would have stopped after Yuber had left. Oh well, at least his swimming lessons aren't going to waste!]
no subject
It's only when she bends her eyes back to her task that she realises all trace of Vash is not completely gone, and she glances up to meet the sad expression of Rem, standing by the flowers.
Ah. She knew there was something different.]
Has he forgotten you? [It's a soft inquiry, and Katie pats the rock she's sitting on as she stands.] You can take my place if you'd like. I won't listen at all.
[The heavy dragging shuffle of something else approaching makes her smile, and she glances down at the ball of string in her hands. So much glamour knotted within.
Time to do something useful with it.]
