Kate was in a much better mood than she had been with the recent mess about not!Iron Lad, and wondering how Cassie was dealing. She was currently in the Media library, humming along to some music cheerfully. She wondered how it would sound like on a cello, how to adapt these particular chords to the strings.

She was also smiling contently, casually thinking of a certain recent event with a certain someone. Maybe she'll go play something in the Sensoriums a little later.

"I...I..." She started again, trying to get words out. I kissed him. I'm sorry. I can't get back together with you.

Kate took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I can't, sorry. I met someone."

Ouch.

Paco sighed, then dug up a lopsided smile.

"That's cool, don't worry about it. We agreed it was a casual thing, yeah?"

Man, he hadn't been dumped-and-replaced since Terri Vargas back in fifth grade.

That smile just made things worse.

"I thought we did..." Granted she didn't have much hope for it after the Yeerk thing, and still getting nightmares at times.

"I'm sorry. We... kissed, and he's really cool... and you don't want to hear that part."

No, he didn't need to know any of that. He didn't even really need to be here right now.

"It's cool. I'll just...catch up with you later, all right? And, you know, if the guy ever needs a whack upside the head, you can give me a shout."

Least she hasn't said who the 'he' was yet. She'll spare him that for now. (Even though she mentioned to her friend Stature, but that was girl talk stuff.)

"Sure. I'll let you know." She sighed, and lifted her bow to start firing again. Not watching him go.

"Later," Paco said, backing away a little before turning and stepping out the door. He closed it behind and rubbed a hand over his eyes, before setting off in the direction of the Hub.

He really needed to talk to Jaime.
