[b][i] – Kathy[/i][/b]

Crash reassured her that he was only kidding, but she was still a little worried. [i]‘Please wait until can get some counter measures from Mercy…’[/i] Kathy thought. Funny enough, Mercy’s name was a great one to pray to.

At the table Crash asked her, [b]“Good memories or bad?”[/b] She had to think for a moment. “Neither, I guess.” She chuckled, “It’s just cereal.” Perhaps it would have been better if she simply answered ‘good memories’ but she could not quite bring herself to do that. Certainly she had enjoyed her childhood but… The more she thought back on it, the more conflicted she began to feel so she simply decided to consider everything to be neutral. She waited patiently for Crash to tell her something about himself, but they were suddenly interrupted by Mercy.

“?” Kathy was already confused about why Mercy needed Crash’s help, and her confusion deepened further when she got an apologetic look from Mercy. Then she watched their exchange and she began to kind of get an inkling of the reasons why but... She decided not to think much deeper into it. More importantly, it was amusing to see Crash acting so subservient to someone. Unfortunately, her current method of bothering Crash wasn’t something she could copy at all. In fact, she would probably be the one to blush like crazy and admit defeat.

She began laughing at Crash’s transformation and Mercy’s funny position on top of his head. [i]‘Least it’s getting the job done.’[/i] She thought with amusement.

When Mercy came back down and asked her and Crash to join she nodded, “Of course. If… You’re coming as well.” She glanced over at Crash as she said the last statement. The faint hint of a blush returning to her face despite all her efforts so far not to. She turned to him again as Mercy bounced off. “Want to finish the cereal and start heading over to the beach?”
