As time passed by Kat was beginning to get extremely impatient and fed up with waiting for Eric, she was beginning to wonder why she had waited this long to begin with. Why did people always have to stand her up? Heaving a sigh she closed watched the time tock away on the clock for awhile eventually concluding that she was definitely being stood up. She had a lot she needed to get done, she should just get up and leave and confront him later. Too tired and too frustrated to give a flying ratâ€™s ass anymore, she closed her eyes, thinking that she would rest only for a moment, drifting off until she eventually passed out completely. A good few minutes have passed before a light nudge from her cyborg followed by the sound of Ericâ€™s voice woke her up. Startled, she had been in such a deep sleep that she came close to jumping out of her seat.<br/><br/>Normally she would have given Eric a displeased look and chewed him out for being late but the look on her face said that she really was too damn tired right now. Instead of saying anything she gave a huge yawn. This has just been such a long week for her. Having been asleep when Eric got here was proof it was taking its toll on her, Kat had a feeling that she should just call it a day and try to get some more rest before it was time for her to get around to getting done whatever her next assignment was.<br/><br/>â€œIt was better than yesterday, Iâ€™ll give it that I suppose...â€ She did her best to give a small smile back, turning out more awkward than she wanted it to, mostly trying to hide the fact she wasnâ€™t in the greatest mood at the moment. It was mostly to ensure that her bad mood was not directed at him being late, keeping the mood light to avoid a stupid argument. Well as light as it was going to get at the moment anyway, she really was not feeling like she would be good company right now, since from the looks of things Eric was not having the best day either but at least he was able to smile and seem all bright and cheery though in spite of that which was another reason to avoid an argument. That being said returning his smile was the least that Kat could do even if she wasnâ€™t really in the mood for smiling right now.<br/><br/>Rubbing her still sore shoulder she narrowed her eyes and stared at her reflection in the tableâ€™s shiny surface, â€œI think I might have worked myself too hard. They had a huge list of things for me to do, which required some pretty heavy lifting. I have a feeling that they used my punishment as an excuse to slack off.â€ Realizing she was beginning to vent a little Kat paused for a moment and sighed heavily, a lot of her stress seemingly vanishing, then she met Ericâ€™s gaze then she leaned back relaxed in her seat more hoping that she didnâ€™t seem so tense. When she finally spoke again the tiredness still rang in her voice, showing that suppressing her irritable mood for the sake of having good company was not working out as well as she wanted, â€œIâ€™m sorry. Iâ€™mâ€¦ not exactly good company right now. To tell the truth, if I hadnâ€™t dozed off like that I probably would have gone back to my room to take a nap.â€<br/><br/>Maybe it was better off that she went to lay down for a nap, Kat wondered. She really didnâ€™t want to take her bad day out on Eric anyway, even if she was finding that it was easy to relax around him. The last thing she needed was Eric feeling the need to walk on eggshells whenever she was in a bad mood. With partners in the past she probably wouldnâ€™t have cared but she actually enjoyed Ericâ€™s company and he didnâ€™t need to see her ugly side so to speak, at least not here, even if he has already seen glimpses of it. She would save that for the next tough mission.
