#chris&kat

chris, though still suspicious of pretty much everything that he encountered in this city, was trying to let himself settle. but then the universe kept tossing him in front of family when he tried to do something simple like sit down in a coffee shop. it threw his brain into somersaults; some tumultuous mix of grappling with a reversal of his losses and letting himself be happy at a reunion.

"kat?" he said, an almost hesitant guess. she was certainly older than he'd ever seen her, but he could reach out enough to sense her, and confirm what his brain was denying. "god, this is- you know me right?"
