The loft above Luke's, Saturday afternoon

[tigerundercover]

Raven had spent her first few months back on the island in constant motion, wandering aimlessly around town, unable to stay still in one place for more than maybe an hour at a time without getting antsy. She'd spent most of 2016 on the move after all, and that kind of forward motion was a hard habit to break

Orrrr...she could wait for her roomie to do it for her?

"Raven?" Kathy called loudly to be heard over the TV. "You hungry? I got a slew of hot quesadillas from downstairs if you are."

Raven perked up on the couch. "Best roommate ever," she said, pulling on a smile. "How many is a slew?"

She knew how much Kathy was supposed to eat, after all. And Kathy was just the sort to offer even if there weren't enough for both of them to be satisfied.

"Enough to make the cook glare at me for asking for so many," Kathy said, pulling out a bunch of the biodegradable to-go boxes that Luke's used. "And some of them have steak and chicken on them, so they're definitely yours."

Kathy was still not making a big deal (ie, was still mostly hiding it) out of going vegetarian, but Raven was the exception to that. Raven was the exception to most of the secrets she was keeping to herself. Except for Fight Club, but even that was more 'hadn't figured out how to explain it' than 'deliberately trying to keep her in the dark.'

"And I got us salsa, sour cream, and guacamole, along with yellow rice and beans, so we should be all set!"

Kathy still wasn't eating anywhere near as much as she had last year. But it was more than she'd been eating a few weeks ago, so...progress?

Definite progress. Raven was proud of her!

It was easier to focus on whether Kathy was taking care of herself instead of worrying about her own new couch-potato status.

"Sounds perfect." Raven shifted over on the couch. "You wanna come eat over here? I can change the show if you're not into Dr. Sexy."
