Could everyone maybe check in, even if I don't know you. I feel like there's a few people I haven't seen around here lately.

Yes.

[There isn't even a second's hesitation.

She's known some awful people in her lifetime. She knows about even more.]
musicdied: (bottoms up)

[She utters a short laugh.]

Yes, but if I say it here, it will get me yelled at if the doctors decide to listen in.

A stiff drink.

[There's a brief pause.]

And some company, when you have some time.

[There's a bark of laughter, sharp and startled, and loud enough that there's an echo of it from behind her door.]

Have I told you today that I love you?
musicdied: (slight grin)

-> Action

[When she does drop in, Yelena is stretched out on her bed, back propped against the headboard, and a small stack of pillows topped by a stuffed narwhal supports her injured arm, freed for the moment from its sling. She looks up from her tablet and smiles, and if it's less broad than usual, that's at least in part due to the still-healing gash in her lip.]

Come sit. I have funny cat videos.

[Yelena slides the tablet over into Kate's lap before taking the drink in her good hand.]

Thank you. [She nods toward the tablet.] This one is very surprised by stepping on a children's slide.

[True to her word, the still splash image for the video is a fluffy tabby cat at the top of a slide on a child's play structure, the sort of small wood-and-plastic thing middle class parents might install in their backyard.]
musicdied: (overshoulder)

[Yelena lifts the glass in a careful toast, and takes a swallow from it with an appreciative 'mmm' of delight.

This is exactly what she needed.

It doesn't do anything to numb the brief pang of regret at Kate's admission.]


You could come with us.

[A brief pause.]

In a few weeks, so we have time to clean things up properly. It's - we made sure to find a place with enough room.
musicdied: (fatalistic laugh)

That should be a YouTube channel. Cleaning With Kate.

[She glances down at the tablet, humour - not forced, exactly, but exaggerated.]

I could monitor the comments for you, and deal with the creepy perverts.
