"...Dammit."

Some weeks ago, Kate had had a little accident with glitter. Namely, she'd dumped a containerful of it in one of her desk drawers. She'd tried to clean it all up, but it was like the drawer was generating more of it by itself, and so she'd given up and just avoided using anything in the drawer until she absolutely had to.

Well, now that time had come, because she was packing and wanted to take a certain sketchbook back to her mom. And it happened to be in that drawer, and so she’d taken it out and yeah. Now there seemed to be glitter all over everything, and especially her hands, which just made it spread more.

But whatever. Glitter wasn't the end of the world. She was going to get everything packed now, glitterified or not, and then maybe head into town for a massive DDR session later. It was her last day at Fandom before a week in Overland Park; she wasn't about to let that get ruined.

[ooc: Open door & post, last chance to talk to her face-to-face before she goes to Kansas. I'm around on and off all day.]

She merely chuckled in reply, happily kissing him back, leaning closer with her hand pressed against his chest.

And glitterifying him in the process, of course.

"Look what you've done!" he teased her as he let go of her lips.

"I warned you," she reminded him, grinning a little. "You said you could handle it."

"Why, of course I can," he replied. "But there's no need to overdo it."

"Glitter makes me evil," she smirked. "Sorry."

"Evil is a slight exaggeration," Leto observed. "How do you celebrate Christmas at home?"

"Overeating," she replied without hesitation. "Watching bad holiday movies. Playing boardgames. Hanging out."

"Please, give my regards to your family," he said, pulling her a little closer.

"Will do," she replied, settling against him. "You guys have any big plans for the holidays? Which you probably don't actually celebrate."

He grinned. "No, no big plans. Perhaps Ghani and Irulan and I might celebrate anyway, for the novelty of it."

"Nothing wrong with celebrating anyway," Kate said with a smile. "Would give you something to do over the break, if nothing else."

"Yes," Leto said. "And I'll also look forward to your return."

It wasn't for romantic reasons, necessarily, but he did enjoy Kate's company.

She didn't take it like that; there were walls in her mind that prevented it. They were pretty impressive, really.

"I'm only gonna be gone a week." Pause. "Less, if it gets to be too much."

He grinned. "And if it does get too much you are welcome to call me."

"I'll keep that in mind," she said, smiling lightly. "I'm shopping some Christmas presents for Fandom people in Kansas. Anything exotic you might want?"

"I'm not sure I know enough of the exotic things available to answer that," Leto replied. "I'll trust your judgement."

That would also be more interesting, no doubt.

"Okay, I'll have to see what I can come up with," she nodded. "Try not to expect anything too interesting."

"Interesting is a matter of definition," Leto replied. "Do you want a gift from me?"

"Unless it's something that's going to give me another head injury, I won't say no," she teased.

He pretended to think about this for a moment, then added gravely: "Perhaps I will have to reconsider what I've planned."

He hadn't planned anything.

She raised an eyebrow and gave him a look that suggested that no, she didn't think he had planned anything.

"You better. Otherwise I might have to hit you over the head."

"That would of course be bad," Leto said, not really looking like he meant it.

"Yeah, because I so totally have the strength to actually hurt you." Oh, sarcasm, how you always amused Kate.

"It depends on how much pain you actually want to cause." Leto grinned.

"Why would I ever want to cause anything other than a truly massive amount of pain?"
