What the hell?

"I'm not impressed, Kat. It's freezing here."

"You told me to track him, Erica. I have no control over the atmospheric conditions present wherever he chooses to lose himself."

"Very funny. A bar hardly seems like his style. Nor yours."

"But it does seem like yours."

"You're just a laugh riot today, aren't you?"

"A defense mechanism. Look at the what I have to put up with."

A snarky face in response, "where are we, anyway?"

Kat was strangely quiet. Should she admit to Erica that she really had no idea? They'd followed Trek into an alley, turned a corner, and found themselves... here. Wherever "here" was. "A bar?" she supplied, not at all helpfully.

"Right." Erica sighed, swinging her leg over the bike and hopping off. Handlebars in hand, helmet visor pushed up, and taking in as much as she could with a wary expression on her face, she approached the bar with Kat. There weren't any other vehicles outside, and she didn't want to be alone. The management could bitch at her later. "Are you sure he's in there?"

"No. But it's as good a place to search as any, now that we're here."

Erica raised an eyebrow at that, but risked entering anyway.

"I was merely making a suggestion to be taken under consideration, Erica. There is no need to become upset." Kat's voice was ever reasonable, and it grated on Erica's nerves.

"Take this under consideration. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm cold. We've been looking for Trek for a really long time, you don't have to bombard him as soon as we see him, okay?" That's my job.

Oh yeah, she's irritable. That's a nice way of putting it.

Could motorcycles sigh? If they could, Kat did. "If you're hungry and thirsty, I'd suggest you try ordering something. Other patrons appear to be enjoying various forms of sustenance. What is of more concern are my own fuel levels, Erica. There are open chairs near the fireplace if you have a chill. I can keep an eye on Trek for you."

Too much togetherness makes the AI irritable, also.

"There's nothing worse than a smartass AI. Remember that." She stormed off to the bar in a huff. Who had programmed Kat to talk back to her, anyway? She demanded restitution, damnit. No one should have to deal with this much annoyance in one day.
