The Roof, Late Wednesday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

Kate didn't really know what to do with herself today. Not taking the weekend into account, Wednesday was the only day of the week that she didn't have either workshops or ballet class.

So she'd spent the first part of her day sorting out stuff for her online classes. Once that was done, she'd ended up here, although she wasn't sure why. Not like there was too much for her to do up on the roof, either.

She wasn't even smoking, although should any of her fellow Smokers' Club members show up, she thought might pester them for a cigarette.

But as she was alone, she was mostly just leaning against the railing and looking out over the town. Thinking about stuff. People. Herself.

For once, it didn't make her feel or seem too angsty.

[ooc: It doesn't get much more open than the roof!]

"Or maybe more someone," she mused. "A person."

"A person who's not me?" Hannibal guessed, feigning shock. "I'm always surprising and adorable!"

[vanillajello]

"You're adorable, but there isn't much surprising about that," Kate snorted, amused. "No. It's not you."

"So, come on, what's surprising about this person who isn't me, which is just so unfortunate?" Hannibal asked.

[vanillajello]

"It's surprising that I find myself spending a lot of time with this person, who isn't you which is not unfortunate because I get double the fun if you two are separate people."

So, there.

"Nicely done, complimenting me and telling me what's up," Hannibal joked. "He's not getting cake, is he?"

[vanillajello]

"Not unless he asks," Kate said, shaking her head. "Which would be pretty random of him without prompting, so I doubt he will."

"Good because that's mine and Bobby's thing," he decided. "Cake for us and no cake for everyone else."

Hannibal really hadn't grown out of being selfish about some things.

[vanillajello]

"That's a little selfish, isn't it?" Kate asked, amused. "You're such a brat."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Takes one to know one," Hannibal said brattily. "So there."

[vanillajello]

Kate just laughed. "I so totally knew you were going to say that."

Hannibal just smirked before asking, "Wanna walk me to the bar? I'll give you whatever you want free as payment."

[vanillajello]

"Sure," Kate grinned after a pause. "I don't have anything better to do. Might as well make sure you don't chicken out on going to work on your first night."

"I'll be eternally grateful to you," Hannibal joked, reaching for her hand and tugging her towards the door. "Who wouldn't want a hot girl escort?"

[vanillajello]

"A misogynistic gay guy?" Kate suggested, snickering, not resisting the tugging at all. "And you know I'm always happy to help you, babe. Especially when bribed."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Good thing I'm always willing to bribe my hot girl friends," Hannibal joked. "And you know, because I like you and that soft junk and all."

Ew, mushy.

"Don't tell anyone I said that."

[vanillajello]

"That you said what?"

See? She could go further and just pretend it didn't even happen. ...Okay, the smirking probably didn't really help that.

"You're the best," he said, using his free hand to blow her a kiss before tugging her through the door and down off the roof.
