No, this was about a million times better than any of those fancy parties, already. There was that sense of sort of tight rope walking that she always had around Yelena, that sensation of not being able to see the ground but just... not being worried about it.
"Are we friends?" It's probably not an incorrect word, but it doesn't feel like the exact right fit either. There's no negative reaction to it, though - it matters, sure, but for now she's happy to call whatever this is whatever Yelena wants to. "Drinks and a movie sounds fantastic."
Thank goodness Kate had resisted the urge to get fancy herself. She's not dressed quite as comfy as Yelena is, but at least she's also casual in jeans, t-shirt, and a hoodie. That had almost not been the case at all.
"Yeah, you look very sad and alone right now." That gets a little laugh, and a little bit of staring, before Kate actually follows directions, kicking off her sneakers and climbing onto the bed. Had to try and burn that image into her mind first. "I think cloud is probably more fitting. Less... sticky."
