Kasai was twiddling her thumbs waiting for Avani to sign the papers so that they could leave when she looked up to see Avani donning a mischievous expression. Immediately she knew something was up, especially when Avani suddenly acquired manners and began using pleasantries. Arching her eyebrow in suspicion, she waited and listened to what Avani was beginning to say. It didn't take long before she was reaching across her desk to swipe at the papers that were just out of her reach. 

Quickly, she backed her chair up and attempted to run around her desk to silence Avani. Unfortunately, her desk had other plans for her. Kasai's foot caught the leg of the wooden frame and down she went, tumbling to the floor. If there was a pair of eyes in the room that wasn't already aimed her direction, they were now. 

In a fraction of a second, the laser-beam glare that she had given Avani what seemed so long ago now in the spirit world was back. She clumsily and embarrassingly fumbled around on the floor before finally finding her feet beneath her to stand up. By the time she made it back to an upright position, she could see Avani high-tailing it out of the squad room and downstairs. 

Kasai looked at the papers on her desk, seeing they were signed. Everyone in the vicinity was still staring at her, some laughing and others with their mouths agape. Kasai laughed nervously and quickly filed the papers away on her desk.

"Heh... criminals. Who can trust em, right?" The nervous laughter continued as she slowly backed towards the exit. "Nope, can't trust a one. Nuh-uh. Always making stuff up and whatnot." She was almost to the door now, just a few more feet to sweet freedom. "Oh, hey Jai, is that a new badge? Very nice." She reached for the door and flew out as quickly as humanly possible. 

Outside, she found Avani busting up, as she had predicted. She imagined her face was still as red as the fire nation's crest, but she at least was away from the staring beady eyes now. 

"You think you're soooooo funny." She said between bursts of laughter from Avani. "Well, I'll have you know that it doesn't affect me in any way. Nope. And I meant to trip..." Kasai bit her bottom lip and urged the knot in her gut to go away. Usually she wasn't easily embarrassed, but being bombarded in front of all of her coworkers... yep, that'll do it. 

She thought about how to turn it around on Avani, but found no such plan. In the end, she turned quickly towards Avani, making sure there was no one else coming out of the station first, and pushed her up against the wall of the building. Her body pressed against the other woman's and she narrowed her eyes to her. 

"It might have been all in good fun, but secretly you wish your words were actually a part of this little contract we have. Don't you? Wouldn't that be fun?" Kasai grinned this time and hovered closer to Avani to whisper. "Well, we don't need it in writing to make it happen." Kasai lingered for a few seconds more, her lips brushing Avani's cheek before she pulled completely away and retrieved her keys from her pocket, acting like nothing had happened. 

"Well, come on then. We need to go get your bike." She said, heading towards her car and not looking back to see if Avani was following or not. She waited in her car and then pulled away, driving towards the area where they had left the motorcycle. "I can follow you to your place if you want to grab some stuff and bring it over to my apartment. You're under my watch, after all."
