Faith and Kaya, for MM

[faithful_slayer]

Faith has a plan.

She's been working on it for a while, and now it's ready. She's got fake ID - in the name of Kaya Lehane - and she's got tickets, and now she's meeting Kaya by the doors of the bar.

Kaya's never been to a zoo before, and today she's going to Central Park. She just doesn't know it yet.

Kaya's looking a little dubiously at herself as she approaches the door, or rather at the clothes Bar has provided for her to wear: tightly fitting trousers of a smooth blue weave and a shirt in bizarrely bright, flowerlike colors.

"Did I put them on right?" she asks Faith.

"Perfect," Faith says approvingly. "You look like you were born on my planet....here, I have something for you."

She hands Kaya a leather child's-sized messenger bag, one that bears no brand names and could pass for something from Kaya's own world.

"To carry money and things in."

Kaya brightens slightly, and slings the bag over her shoulder. "Thank you."

(She's been remembering her manners a lot more, lately. As though she's been living like a civilized person again.)

"You're welcome." Faith smiles at her, holding out her hand. "If anyone asks, you're my cousin."

She doesn't want to try to replace Kaya's mother or sister. More importantly, she doesn't want Kaya to think she's doing that.
