( cool. she likes the sound of the bourbon espresso, but all she can think about is bill all amped up during a chase, so she signals for one of the bearded hipsters and orders a latte instead. if she hates it, she'll give it to this girl. win-win. )

He's my boss. He has a pretty normal old man beard.

( he'd probably resent being called old, but eehh where is the lie. )

But he might've had an uglier one when he was younger, I dunno. Maybe I'll ask him.

( she'll record it when she does. it'll probably be hilarious. )

... Like Santa? ( Six no don't go there, even with that laughter dancing in your tone. ) I guess you're, like, the right height for an elf.

( JESUS CHRIST SIX. )

What the fuck.]

Seriously? I'm not that short. Dr. Rosen doesn't even make me look that short. I am not the right height for an elf.

[But you kind of are, Kat.]

This coffee's on you.

( And in response? Six just... bursts out laughing. It's not mean spirited, just highly, highly amused. )

I like you.

( She'll pay for the coffee, it's fine. )

What's your name, anyway?

[That laugh does the trick. Kat's annoyance isn't anything Really Serious anyway -- why waste the time and energy on something you won't even remember after a month? -- so when Six laughs, so does Kat, first faking reluctance, and then completely, totally chill.]

I'm Kat. You?

'Zanna. Suzie. ( Shrug. There's Six, which she's most used to now, but Kat is still enough of an unknown force that she doesn't quite bring up the whole online hacker identity just yet. ) I mean, it's whatever, innit? Some guy at work called me Spikes yesterday 'cause I was wearin' 'em. Still answered him.

[6weeksmax]

[Is it really whatever? Like, it kind of has to be for Kat, given... she has no idea if Kat is even her real name. But if she ever found out her birth name, would she let herself forget it? Or would she do something as crazy tattoo it onto herself somewhere so she'll never forget it again?]

Spikes is a badass nickname. Some guy called me Kitty Kat once, but he only wanted me for my body.

[Or, well-- for her blood. Asshole.]

( That... does sound like men. Six grimaces at the idea. )

Ugh. Minging. Guys are, like, the worst. I don't even get it. They're not even cute?

( Priorities. )
