Catt and Elaina's Reunion

''It is the next morning and Catt has just taken over guard duty from Jasper. After a goods nights rest curled around Hela, Elaina emerges from Hela's room/prison. ''

Catt Hatter: El-ain-a? *Catt asked, slightly surprised to see her.* You're b-ack?

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Oh, hey Catt! Yeah, I'm back...

Catt Hatter:  It's good to see you a-gain! *Catt said cheerily, wrapping her arms around her friend.* I missed you!

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *hugs her back, smiling* I was worried about you...

Catt Hatter:  A-ww! Th-at's so sweet! But why would you be worried a-bout me?

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Because you got shot!

Catt Hatter:  But, I survived, I'm fine now! You even s-aw me a-t the meeting two weeks a-go. I'm more worried a-bout h-ow you've been holding up.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  I'm fine! I'm just worried about Hela... And you, of course, like I said.

Catt Hatter:  Oh don't worry a-bout Hel-a. A-fter you left, we decided that she should be kept under gu-ard but not resort to "eye for a-n eye" violence for punishment. I made sure of that. *She said with a reassuring smile.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *mutters* an eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind... *looks up* oh, that's something Helen says.

Catt Hatter:  Wise words. Though, I never really took Helen to be a p-articularly religious person. Huh. *Catt mused thoughtfully.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  I don't think she is...? Why?

Catt Hatter:  Oh, she isn't? Th-at phr-ase is from the Bible, so I sort of just a-ssumed th-at's where she got it.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Oh, I didn't know that. I thought she heard it somewhere. '''Catt Hatter:'''  Th-at's prob-ably where she heard it, given how steeped in Christi-anity the English-speaking culture is. *Catt said nodding.* Ms Elaina Hyde:  Oh, okay...

Catt Hatter:  Does it bother you? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. *She sighed.* Interacting with people has gotten a lot harder since the shooty thing happened.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  No, it's no problem.

Catt Hatter:  Oh good. * Catt sighed in relief.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *smiles and hugs her* you're not hurting or anything?

Catt Hatter:  Not really, just a few bruises from walking into things. My depth perception is kinda wonkey. *She said, pointing at her misaligned eye.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Oh, that sucks...

Catt Hatter:  Heh, ye-ah. But I'm trying to not let it bother me. *She fidgeted with the buttons on her sleeve, as if she had something more she wanted to say.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *she noticed and frowned* do you have something else to say?

Catt Hatter:  Well, with a-ll the time I've been spending gu-arding Hel-a, I didn't actually meet this Elise person. I'm just wondering how she is.

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  *goes quiet for a moment* She says she's fine...

Catt Hatter:  Oh good, I'm sorry I didn't get to s-, get to see her. *Avoiding words with "a" syllables was more difficult than she'd expected.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Mhm...

Catt Hatter:  Not th-at I wish you to turn! *Catt said hurriedly, trying to emphasise that she cared about Elaina's feelings. Making her feel unwanted was the last thing she wished.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Oh, yeah! I know that! I doubt there's anyone here who wouldn't lovebeing with the wonderful Elain Hyde!~

Catt Hatter:  I doubt it too, you're wonderful! *Catt grinned at her. The method seemed to have worked.*

'''Ms Elaina Hyde:'''  Darn right I am. *giggles playfully*
