Kate's got her security badge easily seen and her feet propped up on the end of a couch as she surveys the room.

It's mostly quiet. It may continue to mostly be quiet.

But she's watching anyway, just in case that changes.

She's also reading a book in between scans, and enjoying it a great deal.

She's enjoying more in general, honestly, with Piotr back, but it's hard to not enjoy a good fantasy novel no matter what. Especially ones that are humorous and make you periodically giggle at the pages.

[OOC: Y'all have my apologizies, but I need to beg a slowtime till tomorrow night. I'm staying up to get a plotty OOM done, and right now am running only on the end of caffeine. Everyone will be tagged tomorrow! - Kat]

Ooh, good book.

Kate glanced at the cover thoughtfully.

"Together? Or a bakery for vampires? Like blood muffins or something?" She wondered with a slight chuckle at the idea.

"Definitely sounds unusual."

"Cinnamon rolls," she grins. "A baker who knows a vampire. Sorta. It's an interesting book. I enjoy McKinley. And I probably shouldn't laugh at parts of it, but I can't quite help it."

Kate nodded, "I don't think I've heard of the author before. But I'll look it up when I stop back in New York again."

She then offered her hand, "By the way, I'm Kate Bishop." Last name might ring a bell or not with her father's publishing firm.

There are many Bishops in the world; there's association with the firm, but not enough to think there's necessarily a connection here.

"Kate Pryde. Nice to meet you," she offers, a hand going with her words."

Just as Kate's noting the same first name more than the last name. Or the name all together. She only knew of mutants like Wolverine more since he worked with Captain America.

"Good name," She replied with a smile, and added, "Nice to meet you too."

"Want a seat? I'm not up to much beyond just keeping an eye on things."

"Only if I'm not interrupting you in your duties?" She pointed toward the badge as she asked.

"And I got a little while before I have to get back upstairs. Stubborn friend of mine's sick, and of course the guy's not a good patient at all." Men, either trying to be tough and manly, or just big babies when they get sick. Or that was certainly how her current expression read on the matter.

"My duties are to watch a lot and deal with mostly peaceful activity 99% of the time and pure chaos the rest," Kate says cheerfully. "I'll let you know if I need to attend to something of the latter. But for the moment I'm good. Sorry to hear about your friend, though."

"sounds kind of peaceful really, compared with some jobs I know," Kate remarked at that. *coughs* Superheroing *cough*

"That's fine, just a shame I probably can't help with it. And oh, he's ok now that he's finally sleeping. Seemed to have been helping people back in his world who were sick, only he didn't realize he caught the flu till he came here. Clearly does too much, and I bet he'd go off on his own too."

She then apologized, "Sorry, just remembering another friend of mine from back home is annoyingly much the same way."

"It beats my day job," she says dryly.

And then she laughs. "It's okay. I know a lot of people who fall under that category. Self included, as much as I hate to admit it."

"Me too, a little. Not as much as I used to, now that I have some friends to watch my back."

[OOC: No problem if you want to drop the thread, and EXTREME apologies for disappearing; there were some health problems.]
"Do they do a good job?"

She's smiling as she asks.

(ooc: oh no problem, I completely forgot about this thread, but we can continue/fade as you like. Glad you're feeling better now.)

Kate nodded, "They do, even if one of them is something of a hothead."

[OOC: And the holiday ate me, so let's call fade and I'll tag Kate next I see her. :) ]

(ooc: ok, that's fine. been busy with schoolwork here. And Kate's out of the bar for the week with Shogun plot but be back soon enough. :D)
