NOTE: As of 12/2016, Rey has adopted the alias "Fiona Stransky" when working with the Guard. Something to keep in mind, as Rey maintains a low profile with her involvement in the group. Other than what is mentioned in the Guard records, there is no trace of a "Fiona" identified on the network.
[Tripod makes a surprised (but not totally unhappy) chirp as he's transported from one place to another. He doesn't fight, just let's it happen. Most cats despise bellyrubs, but there's very little that the little guy dislikes.]
So, that is why Nick sent you? [She sighs and rubs her forehead, before going to take another drink again.] You know what? He's earned that one.
[Rey isn't so ignorant to her own pattern of behavior that she's going to conveniently ignore Nick's concern, especially after what he did for her.]
[They'd come to an understanding that, in order to take care of each other, they'd also have to take care of themselves. Rey hasn't forgotten about that.
[After a few more drinks, she glances to Atem playing with Tripod. The corner of her lip twitches.] You know, you're all right.
「Water you doing Rey... the last time someone did that was, probably his dad. Because who in their right mind ruffle the Pharaoh's hair, really? Okay maybe Jounouchi, but not when he was in da house. He might or not be blushing a little.」
[Rey totally is That Person who would ruffle the Pharaoh's hair, because that's exactly what she's doing right now.]
Yes, but it's so... knifey. [Is that even a word? It is now, hehehe.] Never seen anyone with hair like this that didn't require a lot of time and fucking around with.
[There might even be a slight distant smile on her expression. Crazy.]
「BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A KURIBOH. But he moves up to the headboard (still carrying that attempt of a cat) and sits next to her, and he just... starts brushing her hair with his fingers. Yeah, that works.」
Shh. I don't have one. And I think you don't owe one. When was the last time you brushed your hair...?
「Wow, rude. He could just... oh, use Tripod's paw to do this. But this is oddly cathartic. He really has never done this before, not that he can remember. He had been the on the place that Rey is now instead, and he remembers it felt nice.」

[Rey goes to take a long gulp of the tea and sighs. That's much better.]
There. Caring for myself now. Are you happy?
[Cough.]
no subject
What plan!?」
Yeah.
...
Are you?
「That's the most important question!」
no subject
[Rey takes another moment to drink her damn tea.]
...I'll be fine.
And don't worry, I'm not planning on going out there when I'm more prone to fall on my face than fight.

「He leans over her just to pick Tripod up, suddenly having this need to spoil him rotten with bellyrubs and he sits on the edge of the bed.」
That's all Nick wanted.

no subject
Yeah... Why else?

[After a few more drinks, she glances to Atem playing with Tripod. The corner of her lip twitches.] You know, you're all right.
[You good people, Atem.]
no subject
... Yeah, I feel fine.
「Whatchu talkin' about, Rey.」
no subject
No, I mean-- [She reaches over with ruffles the top of his head with her free hand.] --you're not a bad guy.
[Pause. Ruffle dat spiky hair.]
Whoa. Was half-expecting to be cut on this.

... It's just hair.
「That sticks out like a motherfucker.」

It's been like that since I was born. Back home, it's not really unusual...
「He notices the smile. He likes that. Well, if his hair makes her happy, who is he to judge!?」
no subject
[Rey is just going to forget that she's still doing it, oops.]
It isn't? Whoa. So it's just... normal for people to just look like this?
[Why does that sound like the most amazing thing she's ever heard? Craaazy.]
no subject
「TRIPOD HAS NO HAIR. Poor Tripod...」
Rey...?
no subject
[Poor Tripod indeed. Poor Atem, too. Rey just zoned out for a few seconds there, until Atem says her name.]
What?
no subject
「He did not notice her zoning out at all. Everything is just fine.」
no subject
Um. Sure? If you want.
[No idea why he would, but hey. He asked. Rey's fucks are down to zero.]
no subject
no subject
That's not a brush...
[She stops though because, well. Hell if she's going to complain. Rey's had people touch her hair before and it's never been an unpleasant experience.
[This must he what it feels like to be Tripod.]
no subject
Shh. I don't have one. And I think you don't owe one. When was the last time you brushed your hair...?
「Wow, rude. He could just... oh, use Tripod's paw to do this. But this is oddly cathartic. He really has never done this before, not that he can remember. He had been the on the place that Rey is now instead, and he remembers it felt nice.」
no subject
Mn, too much work. I usually just cut whatever gets tangled. Works just as well.
[And boy does her hair look like she cuts it herself. Not like the city is in high demand of hair stylists... though it should be.]
