"You actually did something impressive, first you pushed ahead in the attack. We didn't even talk about that. Did you know we'd make it to you in time?"
Kate chuckled and sighed. "Sort of. I technically don't know you guys."
"You assumed we were as crazy as you?"
Kate was smothered in warm cuddly nostalgia and lazily reached up and touched the screen. A few finger wiggles and their pen names appeared.
"You named each other after generals who seized power enough to become emperors. They also didn't reach old age." Kate added with a smirk.
"Oooh" Came Genevieve's words, as of to accept some invisible challenge. It was the most energetic and human Kate hand manged to drag out of it.
It was the most energetic and human Kate had managed to drag out of it.
"She is sounding very swampy."
"I am going to look up this person you guys have clearly formed for me." Kate said with a laugh.
"The person is American. So that should make you feel better, assuming you aren't some alien." Genevieve said.
Sakura laughed.
Kate closed her eyes, letting her aching head kind of float, as if it in a pool of alcohol. The sound of a drone made her ear twitch to attention. Camera clicks soon followed. Kate cracked open an eye, there were our drones floating over them.
"Sakura" Kate mumbled giving in to Sakura as fully as possible. "Those yours?"
"One onlee" Said Sakura, hugging her tight.
Gen sat up.
"I think one of them is most definitely Maddy's and one of them is likely Tifany's. But she could see you if she wanted in the group share. I think she is letting us know she's there."
"Why isn't she messaging me?" Kate asked.
"Did you guys buy a link?"
"No, guess not."
"Rich girl like her? I am surprised she wasn't willing to spend the money on you." Sakura said in a way that was absolutely clear wasn't meant for anyone on the bench.

Accept Gift?
Accepted.
"You are cruel and manipulative, you know that?" Kate said to Sakura who chuckled, almost all to herself.
It was almost odd that Sakura was being reflective and thoughtful.
"She do the thing?"
"Yes."
"Don't accept yet."
"What why?"

"What are you doing Sakura?"
Sakura sat up and pressed up against Kate. She was staring at Tiffany's drone.
"Sakura is going to antagonise the enemy." Genevieve said with a dismissive sniff.
Kate struggled against Sakura and turned to Gen.
"This a common strategy?" Kate asked.
Gen groaned.
"You've asked this. Stop trying to figure out if she's a slut. The answer is absolutely."
"But" Sakura sang, "it literally kills engagement. My body is a turn off when people actually see it. We both know how wrong that is." Sakura said to Kate without turning away from the drone.
Sakura, quite literally, sitting on Kate's lap, facing Tiffany's drone, was pulling off elegant with a perfect model's pose, her knees touching, one knee over the other, like the primmest little lady the world has ever seen, only to bend backwards pressing her face to Kate, kissing Kate's cheek then her lips. They were eye to upside-down eye. The move was amazing and horrific, Kate's own spine screamed threats and warnings just looking at Sakura bend, aching as a sign of what would happen if she even tried to bend forwards that way just to show off to a drone. Snakes could only dream of such flexibility that was being wasted on looking at Kate of all people. All so she could still face Tiffany's drone like a lady.
Even up close Sakura's use of subtle make was fascinating. It softly evened her skin out, adding a pale sheen, then came the careful addition of shadow. Kate was admiring a grand work of art. Sakura was beautiful, a grand sculpting formed by the gods and moulded by her human hands. She was a king of beauty, and knew it.
To be fair, Genevieve, Madison, Riley and Tiffany too, they were all some kind of stunning. With Gen and Maddy having Sakura as their monied-up God. And Sakura was trying to make Kate, of all people, an acolyte.
Such royalty putting her undivided attention on Kate, literally contorting her spine to dig her eyes into little miss new girl. Damn, it was working wonders, despite Kate not being an idiot! Was it fair? Kate knew what Sakura was doing. She understood the game but at the same time, what did that change? Sakura was the stranger in the van offering candy. But at the same time, look at all that candy!
Was Kate a good person for even thinking about falling for the clear game of manipulation Sakura was playing?
Damn it.
Kate pushed forward, rammed down on the throttle and pressed on, their lips touched softly at first. Sakura's awkward pose putting Kate in a lot of control. Which she did not pass up, with just their lips they were pressing, pulling, pinning, fitting and intruding, playing off of each other like bear cubs.
Poor Genevieve likely watching with crossed arms. Kate could only imagine what Tiffany was thinking.
But then the guilt, random and confusing, ripped Kate back from Sakura's lips. Kate even went as far as pushing her away and covering her face.
"I don't know what I'm doing!" Kate groaned.
"You do." Gen said with a dismissive sniff. "You proved you trust your instincts. You're old enough to know if it works or doesn't. The real question is? What do your instincts say about me, Maddy and our Sakura here? And you haven't even met Edna. And yes, she will try molesting you too, just... after your little display... different."
