Éponine had hung back and waited outside the Portalocity office for a few minutes after watching the conversation that had taken place, and after Kennedy left the building. She didn't like how that encounter had looked from her vantage point across the street; she couldn't hear from there, of course, but Kennedy's body language was unmistakable.
Needless to say, Éponine was not thrilled, and sorting through how she felt about the past weekend (what she remembered of it, anyway) had left her feeling as though her head were foggy and a bit numb; dealing with jealousy in a rational way was not something she had the wherewithal to do right now.
Dealing with it in some way, though . . .
She had some lost ground to make up for as a result of hanging back, but she was good at following people, and anyway it still wasn't hard to trail the girl through town. She walked as if she owned the streets and was talking fairly loudly on her phone, too absorbed in her conversation to notice if she was being followed at a distance just within earshot by a tall, lanky girl who kept slipping behind rickshaws and passersby whenever she could.
"I'm running late, I know, I stopped in Fandom to see if I could clear up the portal issues from the office here and --" She saw the girl pull the phone away from her ear and cover it with her free hand for as long as it took to sigh in frustration. "Look, I'm on my way home right now, okay? I swear. I've got a portal back in an hour, then I'm all yours for the rest of the night."
The girl paused and laughed, then continued in a softer and definitely more seductive tone, "Yeah. Just you and me. It's a date, babe."
Still trailing her at a slight distance, Éponine narrowed her eyes. "Ah, and we already have someone waiting at home, do we, now? That isn't very nice of you, dearie," she muttered to herself.
( Once she was sure that her girlfriend was in a better mood, Kennedy hung up and tucked her phone back into her pocket... )
[OOC: NFI/NFB, OOC okay. Preplayed with, uh, me. Because
playsforkepesh is evil and enables me to make my characters fight, and then it sort of snowballed from there and then this happened and I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS THREAD TO GET KIND OF DEEP ON ME. HELP.]
