(no subject)
WHO: Kate Bishop and Ellie Langford
WHERE: A sushi restaurant. ... A cheap sushi restaurant.
WHEN: Evening. ... At some point in time that means this should've been up sooner.
WHAT: Eating! Discussing how the government is screwing them over. Just friendly chats.
WARNINGS: Nothing, probably!
Finding cheap Japanese is kind of a crapshoot, but after a day spent working to secure a job of her own (albeit not entirely sure she's succeeded), she feels like she can risk trying risky Japanese. Logic tells Kate that she shouldn't be taking a risk, but it's better to try it than to not—which is a value she's starting to live by more and more. Being here has coaxed her into recklessness, and some part of her is fully cognizant that things would be different if there were anyone closer to her here. Loki is close, even if the two of them are at odds on the subject, but he benefits from her recklessness.
Of course, there is a difference between being reckless and declaring yourself unsettled (basically declaring herself as a vigilante, which is what her arm now states) and trying sushi. Kate's fairly certain that Chilton could find a very near comparison between the two, but she's also careful not to let their conversations get too psychoanalytical.
It's been years since she's done therapy. And she doesn't resent therapy—it was necessary. It was important. At the same time, she needs to be beyond that. Otherwise, what would the point of this all be?
Kate isn't much of a martyr. Not for the sushi restaurant population of Heropa, and certainly not for the superhero community. She'll try, she'll fight, but she is being careful. Plus, she doesn't want to drag anyone down with her.
Naturally, this would beg the question of why she is here—specifically here, specifically having this meeting. Kate's rational enough to know the difference between protecting people and letting them make their own choices, though she intends to be careful not to drag anyone into her messes. Thankfully, everyone's being cautious enough that things seem to be all right on that front.
Either way, she waits out front of the small restaurant for Ellie, dressed down and sunglasses (the very same pair—it's not like she has a bunch right now) hanging off the front of her shirt. Much to her chagrin, her new identity has necessitated longer sleeves in order to keep the public from checking her identity. No, she'd much rather keep that to herself, though it's possible many of them will know anyway.
She's fiddling with her phone while she's waiting. What else is there to do? (And it's not like dataplans are a thing. She has to take advantage of some perks.)
