Raiden
[ Richard Lawson's parting words have left quite an impression on Kate.
Don't let them find you.
Her nights are a lot more restless than usual. The bottle of wine she gifted Ros is tempting, but she knows better than to turn to alcohol again while there are pressing matters. As usual, she dons her layers and boots and heads outside. She goes for a jog again today. Without any kind of workout facility she relies on the cold terrain.
The shelters are her first pit stop. They need to be cleaned out and stabilized, but at the forefront of her mind the UE's stash of bombs render shelters useless if they can easily drop another nuke on them.
If they know they're here, why haven't they? She stands with her hands on her hips, lost in thought. ]
Lightning
[ She's grown somewhat rusty with hunting. In spite of her intensive training that pit her around and against the world in various death traps and unfamiliar land, until last year she's lived a life of luxury.
The elderly woman she and Roslyn have been residing with lent her copper wire to ensnare rabbits with. She stalks the snow covered land for a rabbit trail, following their footprints into a good clearing where it appears they pass through.
As quickly and quietly as she can, she cuts down branches thick enough to hold any large rabbit. When she's done with setting up the branches and placing the wire, tying a noose and letting it hang in the center.
There are heavy footsteps in the distance. Yeti, she concludes, and hopes they don't frighten off the rabbits. ]
Seiya
[ Another grey and cold morning, but Kate's out for her usual jog. She warms up with basic stretches outside her current residence and half a minute after she's completed them, she's off. She sticks to a familiar path, edging along the outskirt of the town, but never wandering too far off.
She breathes through both her nose and mouth, but exhales through the latter only. Always breathing through the stomach or diaphragm to ensure she's getting enough air.
It's not always the most quiet run; there's always someone, be it Transport or one of the locals. A yard away from her she can hear dogs barking and the loud crunching of snow as the dogs run forward, pulling along a large sleigh with dead their master and his bag of what appears to be his hunt for the day. ]
Actual Damsel Martin
[ Today's jog is quickly disrupted by deep rumbling and the ground beneath her shaking to a point Kate nearly loses her footing. She stands with feet spaced out, applying as much weight as possible to keep herself upright while her eyes scour the clearing to spot whatever large animal it is stomping across.
It doesn't take long, but it's not exactly difficult to miss the mammoths bursting into the clearing. She's ready to hightail it out of here when she catches a glimpse of something else running ahead of the pack.
No, not something. Someone.
Kate's heart is almost ready to leap from her chest as she shouts: ]
Martin!
[ There's no hesitation, no second thoughts. She breaks into a sprint to meet the boy halfway, maneuvering with her bag to dig into its content, reaching for the grappling hook she always has on hand.
Cue. ]
Roslyn
[ Kate shudders one last time as she pushes the door in behind her. She notes the silence in the house, cocking her head to one side curiously and wiping excess snow off her boots on the rug. Then she begins to undo the buttons on her jacket, angling her head the other way. ]
Anyone home?
[ Home. It's almost laughable. God knows how long this setup will last this time. Lawson's disappearance reminds her the kind woman who owns this house may someday vanish before her own eyes. It's an unsettling feeling, not knowing it will happen and if it does. ]
Ros?

Ros?
no subject
But knowing she does ups the stakes a little. Laughing, he gives up on subterfuge and doubles back, changing direction while he reaches for some of the looser packed snow clumped next to the building. ]
But can she make it a double? [ Whether she can or not, he's throwing a curve ball and aiming closer to Kate-occupied space this time. ] They don't call me Grand Slam Grayson for nothing.
no subject
I'll make you eat your words, kid.
no subject
He moves fast and makes a dive for the empty fort, lunging for the abandoned stash of snowballs and trying for another throw over the top. It'll just be embarrassing if he can't even get even one in. ]
no subject
no subject
Okay, two to one. [ If he can make it a tie, at least they can call it even. He'll make a last ditch effort to grapple for the next piece of ammunition and throw it hard before she can get to him. ]
no subject
[ She springs on her hands, once again narrowly avoiding the snowball and thrusts herself forward hard with her legs reaching out to entwine around Dick's frame and bring him down.
She scoops up a whole bunch of snow, not bothering to shape it properly and proceeds to dump it all over Dick. ]
Got you.
no subject
Okay, okay, I give already!
no subject
Looks like I win.
no subject
He shakes his head doglike, so a little more of the snow falls out. ]
You kinda cheated a little on that last one.
no subject
Sometimes you've got to get your hands a bit dirty.
no subject
[ His smile turns devilish once his arms are free, and one more hasty, half-way crumbling snowball sails Kate's way. ]
no subject
Damn!
[ Oh god, it is cold. ]
You learn fast.
