( Honestly? Kinda. That's not an easy thing to avoid doing in Hadriel, all things considered.
And yes, thank the fucking gods, because who doesn't like having all their trauma dragged out into the open without their consent? It's so much fun! But, though Kate will never admit it, it has its good points, having an external force explain the things that made you the way you are (or were) to others.
Fuck only knows she wouldn't. And George's compliment catches her off guard enough that she's quiet for a second, ducking her head and tucking loose hair behind her ear as she clears her throat. That might be overstating it but— )
Trying to be, at least.
( It's not the easiest thing here, when there's so many reasons not to be a good person. So many things which bring up the times you weren't, but there are people here who truly are good. People who make her want to be better than the echoes of her past.
If she can manage it here, maybe she really can say she's good. Or capable of it. )
...Free booze.
( Deflecting from the bigger issues? Kate? Never. )
