When Kat showered, she didnâ€™t like the water too hot or too cold. Back home the hot water was always busted for whatever reason so she has gotten use to taking lukewarm showers. It was something that bothered her about her room back on the ship, as the shower was always too warm for her liking some days, and it relaxed her knowing she didnâ€™t have to let the water sit for awhile before it reached the temperature she enjoyed. She smiled to herself as the water gently hit her body, finding it amazing how one could make such a foreign place seem so much like home. Perhaps a little too much like home, she thought to herself, but she was quite alright with it. After what happened yesterday, as she was unable to shake it from her mind, this was relaxing.<br/><br/>She finished up just in time to hear Eric call to her. At first she jumped a little at first, but then hurried and threw clean clothes so she was presentable and so he didnâ€™t try to catch any sneak previews. Not that she was expecting him to of course, she trusted him enough in that sense, but in the end men were men. With her bad experiences she really did not want to take that risk. Her hair wasnâ€™t that long and she liked it a bit wavy to add some character anyway so she didnâ€™t bother combing it before she came out of the bathroom.<br/><br/>â€œSorry for taking long,â€ when she finally replied she had taken notice of the coffee he had brought for her and have him a nod of approval. She was use to getting things herself; having a partner that thought of her instead of his or herself, well, this was definitely a nice change. Nice changeâ€¦ she always thought of it and it was becoming redundant by this point but she supposed she was just happy to have a good partner for once. Kat really hoped that the captain would give Eric a break so she wouldnâ€™t get stuck with another one once they got back. â€œWow, itâ€™s not every day your partner brings you some fresh coffee. Thank you.â€ And it was pretty nice coffee, she admitted to herself, mentally giving Eric a few more positive points. She would also be sure to give him a positive note in her report if the subject was brought up, just to further secure the captain giving Eric a break.<br/><br/>Kat sat on the bed looked down at her cup for a moment before shrugging slightly and meeting his eye again, â€œJust a bagel or a muffin would be nice.â€ She said, â€œItâ€™s weird. Iâ€™mâ€¦ really not that hungry this morning.â€ Hoping that she was still a bit shaken from the horrible night he had would not show too much, Kat took another sip of her coffee. Damn, she needed that coffee, too, considering how completely drained she felt. She wondered if she should try to get some more sleep so it didnâ€™t affect their strategizing and such. There was no use going over the mission if she felt completely out of it and couldnâ€™t contribute much. It was a team effort after all.<br/><br/>She really did not want to be the cause of failure because of incompetence due to lack of sleep. However despite how drained she felt, she wasnâ€™t really tired. Kat was the kind of person who found it harder to fall asleep again once she was up.<br/><br/>Suddenly, she stood from the bed just as Eric was almost out the door, â€œWait.â€ She called out softly. â€œWould you mind if I came with you? Iâ€™m not fond of the thought of being cooped up in the room, and I figure someone has to watch over you in case you decide to throw yourself at some thugs again.â€ Being half serious, of course, but the look in her eyes said otherwise. Kat finished her coffee in a few more gulps and threw it in the garbage can near the door before flashing a smile at him. Not that she was being selfish, but she felt another walk would help clear her mind some more as well.
