Avani grabbed the paper from the coffee table, suddenly feeling a lot more awake. She saw the title that was circled on the front of the paper, and turned to the indicated page. There she found one of the least controversial photographs they’d probably taken of them. Well, it could be worse. At least they’d included a picture of them, and not exchanged it with one of the mayor or something else. Avani’s face wasn’t visible, but Kasai’s arms were quite clearly wrapped around her in a suggestive way. They’d cut out where Avani had made her place her hands, showing nothing lower than her torso.
She read the article, even if she’d been more interested in the photograph than anything else. It was more critical of the mayor than she’d given the reporter credit for. She’d expected her to run, stick her head in the sand and not write anything about them. This was pretty good. Hopefully the reporter would only get a little flak for what she’d done. Avani was glad she didn’t need to beat someone up before they left Republic City too. It might have been a real pain to track the woman down, and a waste of time.
“Shouldn’t you be at least a little happy about it?” Avani asked, surprised that Kasai appeared more annoyed than anything. “She actually wrote the thing. That’s more than I expected anyway. Sure, it’s a small paper, but all it takes is one person in the right place to read it for the article to become well known.” She put the paper back on the coffee table, and was about to lie down on the sofa when she noticed that breakfast was done. Instead, she got up and took a seat at the kitchen table.
“Yummy. You’re the best.” Avani said, after Kasai had put the breakfast on the table. “I’m sure this will dampen my headache even more so we can be off before too long.” She grabbed food and put it on her plate, eating slowly and drinking as much water as she could without ruining her appetite. Avani took longer than usual to finish eating, even if she ate about as much. She felt somewhat better after eating. They’d probably be able to make it out of the city without problem, but she wasn’t certain how long she could drive before the headache got worse. “Thanks for the food, babe. I think I’ll be fine to drive for a while.” She got her plate and rinsed it before putting it down on the counter. It shouldn’t be too bad to leave it like that, right? Granted, she didn’t know if or when they would be returning.
Avani headed over to the bedroom, and grabbed the bag she’d put her clothes in last night. She picked up another bag on her way to the door. “Let’s pack everything into the motorcycle. Better make sure we’ve got everything we need with us after all.”
