( she does have a goldfish and her goldfish has a castle and all sorts of other cool fish things that she'd gone to get when she'd first gotten him. she'd show him to kate later when there were less pressing matters.

but the matter of the goldfish is tabled for the moment because kate's lips are one hers again and while yelena might not have eaten any candy, that doesn't mean she doesn't want this. her blood might not feel like lava's but this is still good and she leans up, stopping short of standing on her tiptoes (why are you so tall, kate?) while her hands fall on kate's hips again.

she barely even feels the tug at her shirt before kate's voice reaches her ears and she has to try and answer. )

Not the fall. I do not want you to drop me.

( even when she's worked up a bit, she can still throw quips. she doesn't say anything else while kate tugs her shirt up and off, leaving her in a basic black bra before yelena gestures back down a corridor. )

Come on. My bedroom is back there. Much more flat surfaces than out here.
