kitty had successfully managed to weasel out of participating in the current boss battle. the whole floor had stemmed from bugs and after skittles dragged her on an adventure she swore up and down she was never going to set foot on that floor and to that, she kept her promise. instead she made herself useful to the circus mystic and made a few extra healing potions and laid a new set of armor on erebus’ desk in hopes she either wouldn’t notice or wouldn’t be too mad she dipped.
she watched her friends list like a hawk, eyes keeping track of the important names and making sure they didn’t disappear and mean the worst. as the first few circus members rolled in, she ducked off into her room, praying someone would send her a message reassuring her they were alive and eventually they did. but as the sound of people talking grew louder and the messages slowed on her comm, a small sense of panic started to fill her, her mind immediately going to worst case scenario.
walking towards the main hall, she tried to keep her walk to an urgent but contained stride, eyes scanning the faces of everyone she passed. when they found their target of dark hair, dark eyes, and maybe slightly bloody clothes, her legs broke out into a run, relief flooding her body when her hands reached his face. a simple reassurance that he was still, in fact, alive. cat subconsciously brought him towards her, locking their lips in a split second kiss. “thank god you’re okay.” she breathed, wrapping her arms around his shoulders in a hug.
