[i][b] - Kathy[/b][/i]

[i]‘A little… Close, I see.’[/i] She thought, eyes narrowing slightly as she watched the girl gently touch Crash’s chest. Kathy had just caught sight of Crash and had been about to call out to him, when she saw something awkward. At least, it was awkward for her to see it. “Hey,” She returned Crash’s greeting with a bright smile on her face. There was a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth and a dark look in her eyes, but overall she seemed to be in a cheerful mood. Sort of. “I’m doing good, all thanks to you. You know, I wouldn’t have minded if you wanted to invite your… Um, companion if she wanted to join us at the table.”

Letting out a deep sigh, she let the forced smile loosen up as she took another bite of the sandwich in her left hand. [i]‘I’m being ridiculous. It’s none of my business what Crash does with others.’[/i] Her shoulders sagged a little in disappointment, but otherwise she seemed to be calm again. [i]‘… It’s none of my business.’[/i] Putting the unfinished sandwich back down onto the plate she asked, “What about you? How are you holding up?” Taking a look at his cheek, she wondered how bad the injury could be.

[b] "Excuse me... But... is this seat taken? I mean.. it's fine if not... I'll just... go somewhere else." [/b]

Looking up at the unfamiliar voice, she saw a thin boy with fair hair looking down at them with a rather nervous expression. Smiling warmly at him she gently answered, “Ah, don’t worry and come join us. I’m Kathy, and he’s Crash. Nice to meet you, um…” Kathy trailed off as she waited to hear a name.
