Sam

Sam had gotten up from the floor now, dish in hand, looking at her soon to be wife in full on panic mode. Sam simply smiles, "We will send the messages and even if one only shows, it will be the best damn night of our lives." Walking quickly to the sink and setting the dish in hot water, "I hope that they can come but it is late and we only have the day after tomorrow. I want you, and to me even if no one shows, being next to you in a dress that is only half as beautiful as you are is the only thing that matters to me." Sam wanted this to be perfect but it was looking like it was going to be okay at best but for her that was fine, while Kat was fighting for us to get out of this game, Sam would be preparing the most wonderful honey moon ever. That would be the perfect part, but to be honest, just being there with Kat, getting married, standing next to that podium was perfect enough for her. 

Can was almost done with her meal and after what her love said it got her thinking, "We do this tonight, with or without people there. You go off and save the world and everyone in it and I promise that I will have greatness waiting for you on the other side." Walking slowly to Kat now, a smile on her face as she takes whatever the lady was holding, setting in on the table and takes both her hands into her own. "And I know that you will come back to me, because you are one of the bravest most talented people I know. That strength will get you through anything Katoka and I know without a doubt that you will do amazing in the Frontline." Eyes locked on hers, "Believe in yourself like I belive in you," for a moment she lost in those eyes of hers, she really wanted to take Kat into the room, "Let us go get married..." pulling the love of her life up from the chair that she was sitting on and into her arms holding her in a hug. "I have a dress that might fit you. It may be sorta long but I think it would look better on you than me." It was something that Eruda had made a while back for her when she was first talking about getting married, it was short on Sam but given the size difference, it would look great on Kat. Holding her love in her arms, Sam didn't want to let go but she did after a few minutes. 

After letting Kat go and letting her finish her meal, Sam started to sent out messages. Tomorrow would be a new day, but a perfect day. Nothing was going to stop tonight from happening...

A sigh of relief rolls over her entire being, Kat still wanted this as much as she did and it made her realize that this could be fixed. That damage she cause was redeemable, and whether Katoka wanted it or not, Sam was going to spoil the hell out of her. Taking the ring from the tiny box, setting the box on the table, Sam takes her left hand softly to her lips with a small kiss and places that ring on her finger. Grasping Kat's face in both her hands, gently pulling the woman into a kiss...

Overwhelming feeling that hasn't shown in some time came back to the surface, as her right hand slides on the back of her neck. God did she miss this feeling, after a few seconds Sam pulls away gazing into the watery eyes of the woman she loved most in the world. Sams right hand finds it way to the side of Kat's neck now as her thumb rubs softly against the cheek, her left does the same on the other side. A smile and in a soft voice, "You will be amazing in the raid, and you will come back to me for one simple reason..." pausing as she presses her forehead against her small little Samuri's eyes locked to hers. "So that we can live to see another day together, everyday, until we get out of this hell," stopping again, that heated, very welcoming feeling and she takes a soft breath. "I will travel a thousand miles just to see you again," closing her eyes. Sam presses her lips against Kat's forehead now, not want to disconnect but her stomach was now becoming hangry. 

Sam sits on the floor next to Kat's legs, reaching for her plate to eat. "We eat then we find the dude to marry us, don't worry about the cost. We invite a few people and be married by the morning." Taking a few bites of the pork, eating sorta quickly now not wanting to wait any longer. Excitement flows through as her dish was nearly gone in just a few minutes... Didn't really think about how hungry she actually was until now.  

Listening to the love of her life speak, Kat wasn't wrong about anything that was said. The minute the woman walked through the door, Sam was thinking the worst. Name calling, taking a break, hell even getting punched and she would have deserved every bit of it. Sam now realized that all that was speaking very low of her fiancé. "I have never loved someone before, I know that's no excuse, but it's true." Sitting at one of the chairs staring at the dish she rushed to make just hoping that it was good enough. "Everyday that I wasn't talking to you, I wanted so badly to say something, but didn't because I didn't want to worsen the tension that I caused." Picking up the chopsticks, moving some rice around on the plate. 

Sam's chest started to ache knowing that she had hurt the one that she promised never to hurt. "You have gotten stronger, there was never a moment that I didn't believe in you. I should have expressed that more and for that I am truly sorry." Sam's knees pull up to her chest, her heels resting on the edge of the chair with one arm wrapped around for balance. Eyeing her meal, suddenly not feeling much of an apatite which was normal these days for her. "I will spend every second of every minute of every day trying to make it up to you. To prove that I am worth the person that you fell in love with." They have been with one other for a while now, and it has always been ramped up to 11 since day one that Sam laid eyes on her. That first date was to the extreme and the best day of her life. It was a synergy that Samantha has never felt. Katoka knows everything about her, things that she has never told another living soul. Staring at the eggs as she moves the pork around the glass platter.

Setting the sticks down next to the plate, why... Why have they waited this long... They were suppose to have already been married by now, was said that after the last floor boss that they were going to walk down the isle... That was months ago before any of this happened... Closing her eyes, setting her hands on her lap... Taking a slow deep breath, every bone in her body was screaming at her to just do it, now was the time, before the next raid, before she walks out that door again... 

A hand goes into her inner pocket of her robe, "I will spend every day for the rest of my life proving how much I love you, ever then it would never be enough time" pulling out a tiny red velvet box, "We have waiting for far to long and I don't want to wait a moment longer to start our new life together," pushing herself off the chair and getting to one knee in front of Katoka. "My life began that first day I laid eyes on you," setting the tiny box in the palm of her left hand out reached toward her as she opens it with her right. "Please, Katsumi Kato, if you will still have me, marry me tonight." There was so much feeling going through her veins right now, terrified that Kat might ask to wait, or say no because of how bad Sam had hurt her. A small tear falls down her cheek, this is how she would start to make it up to the love of her life. No more waiting... 

(On the back on the heart it has -Katsumi Kato- engraved, the star had the words -My Forever- and on the moon -Love-. In complete it read -Katsumi Kato My Forever Love-)

It was dark in the house and all the lit the surrounding area was the candles set on the table. Kat walked past her sitting on the couch, it was obvious that she wasn't seen. "I was stupid," pausing and getting up from where she was planted. Not looking directly at Kat, "I know why I was so mad now." Sitting at one of the chairs as her love's face glows within the low lit light. "I didn't want you to join the raid because I almost died in the last one." Remembering her health getting too low for comfort, "I didn't want to see the same fate for you." Hearing a stomach growl that wasn't hers this time. "I see now that no matter what, you will be joining this raid," starting to cut a portion away to place on the plate. 

"I have been giving you the silent treatment for months now and it isn't fair," cutting another potion out and placing it on another plate. Grabbing the bottle of wine, popping the cork of the cap. "This is a repeat conversation when I decided to join the frontline last floor raid..." pausing there, pouring the ldeep red liquid into two glasses. "You told me that you didn't want me to go but it was okay that I did because you believed that I would come back to you." Tiny streaks of smoke fly up from the shifting flames, wax drips down slowly onto the table where they sat. Taking a deap breath a wipping her tears with her sleeve. "I have been pushing you away because I thought it would be easier if I did that now then to not ever see you come home to me again..." Sniffling saying this as her voice crackles under tone.

"I was trying so hard to think of ways to let you down easy so that I didn't get hurt, but everytime I thought about breaking it off it hurt worse," full fledge waterfall causing her clothing to become soaked. Sam gets on her knees in front of Kat now, head resting on Katoka's hip. "I can't live without Kitty Kat, i should have been cheering you on, not doing what I was doing." Wrapping her arms around Kat's waist now, "I am so sorry that I made you feel any different, please..." Sniffling gripping her tighter, "Please forgive me my tiny little rose samuri. Please..." nuzzling her head against Kat's tummy, "Please forgive me, I'm sorry," Sam just keeps repeating sorry in the smallest voice.

Ping, Ping, Ping...

Messages from Simmonè were blowing up her HUD. Sam hadn't been to the shop for weeks. Spending most of her days just wondering the fields around the guild hall. For now, sitting in her bed, sheets pulled up staring at the band in her hands. I really don't want to wait, but this has to be perfect recalling a memory just weeks after the last floor boss had been dealt with. "Why does she want to go..." Gripping that band in fists pulled up to her lips. Tears dripping down her face, "Why won't she listen..." sniffling, Sam knew that Kat was going to be here soon. For months now there has been no talking between the two, mainly because of Sam. Being so pissed off at Kat that she was afraid to say anything, not wanted to say something that wasn't meant. Sheets drentched in old tears, everynight for months now when Kat was not around. 

Why was she so mad at her, Sam should be supporting her not pushing her away... Dropping the blanket a sudden realization. This was the same argument that they had when Sam joined the last raid. "Oh god... What have I done..." Getting up from the bed and quickly running across the floor and right into the door frame of the bedroom. Catching herself as to not fall, scampering toward the kitchen. Rapidly going through the pantry, opening up her HUD to check the time. Sam had an hour before Kat would get home. Grabbing the rice, setting it on the counter. Getting into the fridge, grabbing eggs and a few other things. It had been a while since she had cooked for Kat, she was rusty. Starting to run hot water over the frozen pork to thaw it out. 

Sam has given the silent treatment to Kat all because what? She wanted to fight and help get out of this place. The more people that joined the raids the faster it would be over, the sooner they could get home and join eachother in the real world. That is what Kat and Sam wanted the entire time. Sam couldn't shake the feeling that she might lose the love of her life but she didn't want to dump Kat's comfidence in thoughts that it would effect the way that she fought in the Raid. That feeling of not wanting to live anymore because there was nothing left to live for. Sam didn't want to be the reason why Kat didn't try... 

Panic raced over Samantha trying to get this meal done before Katoka got home...

Time passed by and there was 15 minutes left on the counter down. Setting the plates across the table and three lit candles as center pieces that smelt like Kat's favorite flower. A bottle of expensive wine with two glasses. Katsudon set in the dish it was made in on the dark wood table. Sitting there on the sofa waiting for her love to walk through the door. Fear that Kat wouldn't forgive her or even not want to marry her any more came into mind. Tears start to run down Sam's cheeks again as she waits...

Setting her other clothing over one of the chairs that were pushed against the walls. Sam was curious to where that large, table was. You really couldn't just hide it in another room, it was longer than most rooms in the building. Clearing her throat with a nervous chuckle. "Yea see I almost did get out." Pulling her dress down before sitting on that same chair. "I managed to reverse his decision after unintentionally bad talking about his work, he actually told me to get the hell out..." Sam's eyes narrow a bit setting her hands on her very thin clothed knees. "I pretty much called myself retarded and begged him to help me..." Giving a nervous smile as Sam glances up at Simmonè, "So he said he really doesn't like me and..." A pause as she closes her eye tight with a cringed look on her face, "andyouowehimdoubletheamount" Sam says really fast keeping her eyes shut probably knowing what Simmonè was going to say.

Sam quickly grabs her other clothing off the ground and scampers out. Sam was a bit sad that the dude didn't like her, but she understood why. Sam didn't listen to what Simmonè had to say about him. Not the best first impression, but for her that was usually the case. Opening to door, looking back at the man. "Thank you," she says quietly, he may of not been able to hear her from the disturbing laughter, but she meant it. Exiting after Curbi finds the door, shutting it, Sam takes a minute to look at herself. Being completely awed by how fast and precise he was. True definition of a fine artist. If they ever met again, that mouth of hers would be sealed shut by imaginary duck tape.

Sam walks to the warp gate taking a deep breath, the shoes felt weird. Feeling the breeze against her bare skin, Sam as never been this exposed out in the open before. It was all for good reason though. Taking a few steps to the door of the guild hall. There was a bit hesitant, was there anyone else in there. This is where Simmonè was heading... Right?

Walking through the doors, holding her breath, wondering how fare Simmonè and gotten on her project. Sam was also trying to figure out how to tell her that she owed him double. Glancing around, the twins were running around, but there was no one else in sight...

Knowing that was oddly comforting, closing her eyes as he worked. "I am the same with girls,"saying with a slight twitch with every marker touch. Taking a deep breath, she was trying to stay still but it sort tickled. Opening her eyes in a squint now, watching him work. It seemed as though he had a real passion for this stuff. Holding her breath to see if it helps her to stop moving. Eyes move to Curbi as he scrambles behind the table out of Sam's view. "Do you think there is anything you can do with him. I will pay extra." Raising her arms for other measurements, it was clear that Sam had never gone through this before. Unless guided she had not a clue what she was doing. The man takes a few steps and writes something down, then continues marking her down. "Does Simmonè get her clothes from you..." Simmonè knew about this man and well. It only made sense in her mind. Starting to lower her arms, the man flings them back up intently. Sam takes a deep breath and holds it again...

-What the hell did I get myself into- Sam thinks to herself with a glare toward the man. Sam without taking her eyes off him, starts to unbutton her long coat. The only time Sam took it off was with Kat and even then it was only in their home. Even though Sam was tall and pick thin, she still didn't feel comfortable with her body. Sam's chest was above normal, they seemed to grow with her body. Setting her coat on the floor next to her feet. Pulling her shirt off and pants throwing them to the side as well, Sam was left with the bare minimum. Glaring at the man still, she swore that if he tried anything she would rip them clean off. A small flush against her cheek, this man was most certainly extreme. "What next..." saying gritting her teeth together softly. Sam would start now on taking Simmonè's advice. The things he could do, it was unlike anything that she had seen before. Standing there, eyes watching him carefully. Sam needed this, if it was what needed to be done to get something to impress Kat then so be it. Sam would do anything for the love of her life.

The man was right about one thing, she hadn't much time for daily showers...

"God wait please," Sam pushes her lips together. Why does she fuck everything up when she speaks... "I didn't mean..." Sam gives a sigh as her nerves began to get the best of her... "You're right, I am really sorry." Sam's narrows her eyes in discomfort. "Simmonè sent me here because she knew that I needed serious work. I mean, look at me... I have no knowledge of beauty because I never had a reason to. I am computer smart not all this." Taking a deep breath with a slow exhale. "I mean I wanted to wear a suit for my wedding... That says it all of what I truly know about the extraordinary work you do." 

Sam looks to the now orange dress, her eyes light up. "You can just change the color like that." Backing up just a bit, Simmonè wasn't kidding... "Please forgive me, I just really don't want to look like a hag at my wedding, and you clearly have a very special taste in what I whole heartily don't... Please..." She inserts foot in her mouth, (Metiphorically). "I'm sorry..." she says in a quiet voice. Rubbing her bare arm with a hand, Sam would leave if she fucked it all up but she really didn't want to. This was important, it had to be perfect... 

Hands behind her back, intertwined with one another. Seeing this magnificent creation, she walks carefully toward it. Circling it, observing it, "Hmm..." Sam steps back a bit with a smirk on her face. Hearing that voice made her on edge, but right now Sam didn't have time for that stuff. "I hope it's not for a wedding, it looks a bit plain for one, but I could be very wrong. I do not dabble in the arts like you obviously do. It is a beautiful piece though." Sam knew that Simmonè told her to be on her best behavior but she couldn't help it. Couldn't figure out if Sam was testing this man or if she just wanted to gage his reaction to the sorts. Wanted to figure out for herself what she was dealing with or rather whom.

"I can see why Simmonè sent me here, your work is amazing, but I am not one for dresses... Simmonè believes that I am purely wrong. I am looking forward to see if you can change my mind." A brow raised as those eyes shift from the dress to Anteon with a smile. 

Taking the slip of paper, glancing down at it. When it sounded like she was going to start heading out, Sam quickly says "Wait, what about...a name..." and Simmonè was gone. Glancing back down at the card in a little confusion, Sam sees Curbi at the corner of her eye trying to sneak away. -Tap, tap, tap- The familiar slow walks away from her, Sam chuckles a little, "Don't think you are getting out of this. If I need to wear a dress, then you get to be all dolled up too. -Taptaptaptap- a faster pace now trying to get away. Sam runs in his direction and dives, catching him her her arms. The chest tried to get out, but Sam held on tighter as she walks out the door with him.

It took some time to find the place and after confusing, multiple buildings for the right one. "Third times a charm..." holding Curbi under one arm. Sam's span was very large. Taking a deep breath as she knocks on the door. Opening the door slowly. "Hello, is anyone here..." a pause as she walks in. "I am a friend of Simmonè's..." Shutting the door, Sam was enjoying everything that was in this room. The interior was just plain beautiful.

"Oii, that is a lot of things," as she began to count on her fingers. "Fine no pants," saying as she puts the ring back into the case and slips it into her pocket. "So the most important thing that I feel like is going to take the greater amount of time is the dress," blekk... A noise from her mouth, closing her eyes. "I am not one for the long flashy crap, plus I would need to find something that fits my size. Tall remember..." giving a sigh, locking eyes with the woman. "I don't even know of ANYWHERE that would sell that sorta stuff. A face cover thingy, shoes with heels. OH GOD am I going to have to wear heels..." Sam gives a small whimper. It was clear that her head all all over the place. Sam turns toward the wall and lightly starts to tap her head against it. "I did not even think about the isle thing..." Stopping as she just lays her head against that wall. "Get a hold of yourself, Sammy," out loud, trying to give encouraging words, it wasn't working. A deep annoying sigh now, turning to her mentor, raising her hands. "Dress first, where. Your call cause I know nothing about this sorta stuff."

"Simmonè, thank god," saying as she puts all that stuff back into the drawers they came from as neat as she could. "Simmonè, I really really really need your help. I told Katoka that she had to wait just a little longer for the wedding but I didn't tell her why." Following to where that voice was, as Sam picks up a cloth from the counter. Opening that small case, leaning against the wall beside Simmonè. "Were you still interested in being my Maid Of Honor. If so you have a lot of work to do... On me..." Sam knew what she was asking. This meant so many things on a huge different level than she was on. Sam begins to polish the ring with the soft cloth, inches from Simmonè, displaying her ring for Kat off to her. "I still need a suit and to figure out how to decorate the guild hall. I really don't want to wait but this has to be perfect..." On the back on the heart it has Katoka's full name engraved, the star had the words -My Forever- and on the moon -Love-. In complete it read -My Forever Love-. "Simmonè, please help me. I am freaking out here. I have not a clue where to begin..." saying with a slight frown on her face, staring at the ring, making sure it wasn't smudged in any way.

"You'll heal soon just keep still and low." The guy simply nods as Sams eyes dart around. There was so much going on all at once and she was exhausted. Just everything was hitting her like a top of bricks. Her movements were off but she was going to keep going. Firm Anima needed her, but all she wanted to do was get back to her love back home. The sooner that she got this done, the quicker she could do that. Getting to her feet and wiping sweat from her forehead, at the corner of her eye she seems Lium. That icon of his was bucking that crap out of her. Sam would have to ask about it later because right here, right now was not the time. Quickly Sam hops off the ship onto flat ground, and rushing toward Lium who was being quick to react to the dudes heading their way. Sam's chest felt tight and her limbs felt like they would lock at any second, but she moved on, she had too. If not for herself, for Katoka who was waiting for her.

Staring at Kage, that voice... It sounded so familiar, but not because of the voice itself. The way it was spoken, that tone. Sam had only heard it once before by only one person and ONLY in her dream that was not a just a night time scene. This confused her so much... Samantha stayed silent, though, taking out a black book that had a golden star right in the middle. Her book of notes, things that she thought were important or relevant to keep. Walking around this character with fangs, a tail, horns, the color, unlike anything that she had seen before. Unique, to say the least. Draughting down the name and description of this insane looking creature, what he was doing down here. Scratching down who was with this individual and what they spoke of, before Kage began to speak to what looked like an interrogation. 

Sam held back watching both of their every move. Writing down anything that would seem important enough, something that might be needed to come back to if given a reason. Listening intently, holding her book and a pen.

Seeing nothing but white behind her eyes. The skin burning upon its surface as Sam collapsed to her knees the moment the woman let her go. Holding her head as she lets out a scream of what seemed like pain, but it was all in her head... A flash of Tuatha standing next to his body that lay upon the ground. With a flash of white light that body on the concrete was gone and it was just Tuatha there with an edgy looking smile. Samantha would smile back as her mind races to her parents, Sam was sitting in that chair as her parents stood above her, hovering watching her. That picture shatters, into what looks like a mirror image breaking into shards coming straight for her, but evaporates into a white light that spray against her face. A sharp exhale like she had been holding her breath. Sam was holding her chest trying to catch that breath now. 

Glancing around, nothing but white with at first just black shadows. Those forms begin to take color once more revealing the group she had come in with. Getting to her feet now breathing heavy, "I will not," a pause with a small inhale, "falter anymore..." another breath. "I know what I need to do now," a sharp cough. With a shake of her head, walking just to the side, raising a hand and slouching forward, placing a hand against her knee for support. "I need a minute..." Sam manages to choke out as she tries to catch her breath.

Glancing around quickly her weapon was out. Her eyes meet Celeste's, shaking her head in disagreement. Sam had yet to board the ship, was to busy putting soldiers on board. Passing one up to Lium as the ship starts to veer backwards from shore. Catching herself from falling of the ledge, as Celeste barks out to secure the ship. Taking a deep breath in a weird panic state like falling could have ended her life just like that. A hand to her chest, facing the battle scene again, chest racing. Disappearing into the crowd now to make sure she wasn't missing anyone. 

A scream and call out from a few soldiers around the corner. One was down for the count holding his stomach and the other was hunched over the man seeming worried. God Raidou was right... Even though they are NPC's they still act as though they have feelings. It was weird to see but she knew how the healing worked in the game. "Let me help you. He will be fine in a few minutes, we just have to get him out of harms way. Help me get him up." Sam and the dude lift the man up, Sam on one side and the NPC on the other as Sam tries her best to get to that ship. 

Sam manages to get half way before hears Lium scream out her name in almost a panic. Sam glances up, then turns her head long enough to see one of the enemy troops heading in this direction. "This is not good... We need to hurry," as she tried to walk fast with these dudes. Sam's chest was pounding so fast right now and she found it hard to breath. Hearing her name again, then hearing right after swords against a shield. Sam takes a deep breath a turns her head to find Griswold and Eruda. Eruda meets her eyes as flames were sporadic around them. "GO, NOW." Holding, pushing the metal points off her metallic guard. Sam simple nods and rushes with the two to Celeste ship. 

Lium hops off with a chain in his hand, landing of the ground right next to Sam with a puff of dirt beneath his feet. "Time to go little lady," Lium puts the injured guys on his back and holds his arms around his neck with the only available hand. "Sam, grab on to me and don't let go till we land." Lium could see the hesitation in her eyes. "Now is not the time to be self serving. Get your ass over here now, there is no time for this..." You could see Liums nose flare up in almost a demanding notion. "Fine," Sam says, looking back at the guard who was already gone. Sam takes a few quick steps forward before grabbing Lium into a hug as tight as she could. Lium pulls the chain for retraction as they are lifted into the air. Moments later they were on the ship. Releasing Lium, she gently grabs the man from his back. "I get him to a safe place for self heal." Having not a clue where she was going, this place was so huge and noisy. 

Looking at her map with a very displeasing look on her face. It was clear that whom ever or what ever ruminated in here from Morrighan was gone. Beginning to push back, she stands next to this man that followed her down. Pretty sure this man was coming down here anyway, Sam had just beaten him to the punch. Sam was also sure that they were not after the same things. A deep breath, as she thinks about what would happen if she left right now. As an O&I agent and an info broker, it was her duty to figure out information about things that others couldn't possibly know about. Sam would begin to wonder if these were one of those things. Sam could not willingly ignore what was going on down here...

A faint sigh as she leans against the wall next to this man, staying low. She would listen and learn about this unscheduled event. Knowing was half the reason why she was in this mess to begin with. "Sam," she would say without looking at the man. It was said in a very low voice, she would be visible to him and him only... 

Rushing out of her house, Kat had just left to do her daily stuff. Sam has been so busy with everything, the front lines, Morrighan, Tuatha... Explaining to Kat why she had to wait just a little longer for the wedding, but the truth was, she didn't want to wait. After Kat had left Sam had realized that nothing had been done. No suit was bought, no decorations purchased. Sam hadn't even gone to the guild hall to do measurement for where things were going to be placed. Sam was in pure overwhelming panic mode. It had to be perfect, everything had to be perfect. 

Sam opens the door to their shop. "Simmonè, I have an emergency. I need your help ASAP," walking to the back of the counter that she always found herself. Digging through the drawers, almost slamming them shut in a panic. After a moment, Curbie walks around the corner with Felix on top of him. Curbie opens his mouth and sends the black cat yeeting. "Where did I put it, damn it..." as her familiar nudges her with his spider looking leg. Sam turns, "WHAT," he back away a little. Sam looks inside and the velvet purple case was sitting inside. Making a half smile and frown at the same time she takes the case into both her hands and holds it to her chest. "Simmonè, are you here..." she calls out out beggingly pleading matter.

Sam just giggles as she gets up as well. "So picking up your mess is my punishment, don't I do that anyway." A grin on her face teasing Kat a little. The remaining of the dishes were not hard to grasp. Setting them on the counter with the organized piles that were formed. Sam started to wash and rinse, handing them to Kat to dry. It was only fair that Sam took the more hands on job. "So, I know that I have been holding the wedding thing off for a while, but I have been going through some stuff. I feel like it's holding me back and I need to deal with it before I move forward with anything in my life." Sam's eyes narrow at this point. Hands still moving, she was glad to be home, but in a way Sam felt stuck. It had nothing to do with Katoka why she was feeling this way, if anything the girl was helping her through it just being here. Giving Samantha that comfort that was much needed. "I will explain everything when I can deal with it, but I just feel like it is something that I have to figure out for myself." Sam's chest started to tighten. Whether or not it was just a dream that she had, Sam needed to figure out what it meant, if anything so that she could move on with herself and her new life ahead with the love of her life. "Before you say it, this has nothing to do with you I promise. You just have to trust me. Can you do that Kat..."

"You are so cute when your mad," saying this with a small chuckle. Pulling Kat back to her lap, but is such a way that they were face to face. Holding her loves face softly in her hands, forehead against hers gazing into those beautiful eyes. "I am so sorry, I tried... I really tried to get a message out. It was back to back shit that just kept sending me else where. I am sorry..." lifting her head ever so slightly, as a tear falls down her cheek. Softly pressing her lips against Kat's. After a moment she pulls her into a hug. "I missed you so much, I thought about you every second I was gone."

After a few minutes she pulls ever so slightly away but holds Kat's hand in hers. "After we fought Gaby there was a huge dispute about how we should letting him live. Front line let him live and then the moment that we walked out there was a huge battle going on with air ships and flying boats. It was hell and all I wanted to do is get back home to you. Please forgive me Kitty Kat. I can't bare the thought that you could be mad at me..." Sam gives her puppy dog eyes in a very pleading manner.

Waking up yawning, unsure how long she was out. Glancing around frantically before she feels something warm against her chest. Somehow, Sam wound up laying the long way of the couch while her little Kitty Kat was cradled against her. A soft smile as Sam wraps her arms around the small frame. Sam really did want to talk, but she was just so tired when she got home. She was sure that Katoka got hardly any sleep either, they never did when they were away from each other that long. It was hard not to worry about one another when the stakes were that high on the board.

Brushing the side of Kat's head, Sam didn't want to wake her. Instead, she would watch her sleep. When they both fully woke, Sam would make a huge meal and tell her love all about the excitement that went on. Feeling a bit bad that she was gone for so long, but she wasn't just going to leave Firm Anima in such a critical time. Everything just happened so fast and Sam had barely had time to react. Regardless, she was happy that she was back home with the love of her life.
