[when Sophie turns on her CAT, her expression is neutral--very carefully so. on the surface, she seems normal, but someone looking closely might notice that her eyes are a bit red and puffy. otherwise, she has a blue shawl wrapped around her shoulders and is seated on the sofa in her townhome. as soon as she begins to speak, that neutral expression goes out the window, and her bitterness is clear]

Since they've so graciously given us some time to ourselves, I think we should use it wisely. It's been cold all day, and--knowing this town--that means it'll be worse tomorrow. I suggest everyone visit the stores and prepare for that. Also, I am going to knit hats and gloves with protective charms in them for anyone who is interested. If you'd like some, please stop by my townhome so I can take measurements.

[she pauses] And...to everyone who... [but her voice catches in her throat, and she lets it trail off. she swallows hard before adding, quickly, her voice thick:] Oh, nevermind! [she quickly shuts off her CAT]

[she takes a moment to collect herself before sending out another message, keeping her tone as businesslike as she can do] I know we met under rather...false pretenses. But if you do know how to knit, and you wouldn't mind, I could use your help. Would you like to?

Ah… that sounds good. Really, this is just inconvenient. [he's added a jumper to his usual ensemble, and looks like he's considering adding another layer]

Do you mind if I come over for a little while?

[Thanks to the lack of sunlight, Kon's feeling the effects of the cold too - and while he doesn't look cold, he wouldn't turn down protective charms.] Some gloves'd be awesome. When'd be a good time for me to head over?

[This is unexpected. Kanaya takes a moment of her own to think before responding, her manner much more careful than the last time they spoke.]

Alright. Knitting isn't my forte, but I can still help. Is now a good time?

[Jamie's found a windbreaker to wear over his shirt and kilt, but he's blowing on his hands to warm them, even so. It's for the obvious reason - but it's a good way to hopefully distract her from noticing the slightly worried expression he has on his face.]

Would ye mind if I stopped by, then?
