MASK OR MENACE IC CONTACT

"Hey, it's Kate. Leave a message."

If we give him any degree of "I trust you," he'll treat it like we opened a door to him. After his interest in you, I'm not okay with that.

Well I mean at least I know not to trust him, right?

And Lizzie is immune to you, so you'd be a perfect ally to him right now.

[So, her remark about them being friends, not so off base in Kate's mind.]

Maybe I need to actually start doing things like working out.

I work out enough for both of us.

I guess I could just watch you work out.

Might be a little weird.

Bring your 3DS.

I did just get the new Yoshi game.

Back home.

Damn.

Well, Hanukkah is soon.

Let's get a menorah! We can make Loki come and celebrate.

Uh.

I'm trying to make up. With Loki.

[He figures she knows, but he hasn't talked about it so well, why not.]

You know he's changed, right?

Yeah, I know.

It's not like I don't want it to work. Like, he's really trying, and I should too. It was crap what he did, but you know he apologized and that's a huge thing?

He does a lot of stupid things, but when you got here, I still told him to work with you. And vice versa.

With how I'm keeping Tony from you, I think it says a lot.

He's a part of our team. He chose to stand by us (finally, with a bit of urging).

He needs someone to have faith in him so he doesn't think that "I'm Loki" is an excuse to ... keep that up. Or return to it.

It's hard to trust him, but I trust YOU, and that means a lot to me.

I don't know if I'm at faith yet but I'm at "I'm pretty sure he won't screw up like he did again".

Just think back to the months he's been here. It might help, but I understand if it's too soon.

Please tell me you at least got an evening full of debauchery. That will at least make my role as an exasperated fill in bartender worth something that's not "hooky."
