Who: Kate and Remy
What: In which Remy mother hens and fixes a leak. He's a well-rounded man.
Where: Tosh's apartment
When: Mid-morning on Veerdi
Warnings: Nope.

Hopefully nobody in this apartment has been trying to sleep (or stay asleep) for the last twenty minutes or so because Kate's nowhere near being done with blow drying the sheetrock walls of the kitchen in order to ward off mold. In any usual case, she probably wouldn't be on her knees on the tiled floor pointing the dryer at the corner between the sink and the fridge, but with Baedal being Baedal, that mold probably won't stay normal mold for long. It would probably grow a couple of pairs of legs, a few rows of teeth, and an ability to speak and tell the entire city your personal business. And steal your wallet when you weren't looking.

Kate doesn't want to take the chance. Who would?

Not Remy, that's for sure - though his habit of hanging around Casa de Ladies is more out of a desire to make sure they're okay and that Kate doesn't feel isolated than any obsessive anti-mold paranoia. For the past several minutes, he's been half underneath the kitchen sink, tweaking and fixing, because you can never be too careful with old pipes, and just because something has been precariously working again for a few days doesn't mean too much.

Serenaded by the dulcet tones of a hair drier, he misses every other beep of his CiD. He is aware, because he saw her shoes, that it's Kate that's keeping him company in the kitchen, but they haven't spoken yet. Setting aside his wrench, Remy gropes for his communication device to see what he's been missing, still under the sink.
