-an approximate narrative

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates As tempting as that offer is... Kara must decline on this occasion.

She can't leave work right now.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

Why does she feel like hurtling herself off a building.. Even knowing that wouldn't work?

Sigh.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — her own, Kara looks around, hoping to hide the now blossoming blush, and catches sight of a photo booth in the corner of the store.

She loves - or used to - love photos.

Hesitating, Kara fidgets with her glasses before heading toward the cashier.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — stir. Reignited by the memories of earlier at the tiger exhibit.
With Lena.

Straightening up and holding her own toy close, Kara confidently replies "this one" - pointing to the one with the tiger and sign.

"Yep. Definitely this one."

Flashing Lena a widening smile of —

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — all too familiar heartbeat of her- friend.

Her very adorable looking friend.

The one holding up snowglobes.
One even has a little penguin inside.

It brings out the faintest of smiles from the Kryptonian.

"I'm guessing you found something you like?"

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — pretending to look around the store altogether, and had just been stood in an aisle. Staring at nothing.

It's only when Lena's accent and honey like voice catches her attention, is Kara hurled back to Earth.

Finding Lena is easy, all Kara has to do is listen for the —

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

The world needs a lot of saving lately.

But maybe, she wants to be saved too.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — a reprieve.

Even more so when Lena called Kara darling.

Resting her elbows on the table and cradling her drink, Kara responds with a chuckle.

"Do you need to ask?"

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates Warm. Comfort. Not quite like sunshine, but rather like snuggling up in bed. That's how Kara felt in Lena's presence. It took some time to sink in; to penetrate that fog shadowing the Kryptonian.

But as usual, when her friend spoke, it did lift her spirit and offer —

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — understanding in kind emerald eyes, Kara might be inclined to succumb to her darkness entirely.

Another drink is placed in front of her before Kara manages to release the tension in her shoulders.

A heavy sigh leaving her body.

Then, a small smile.

"How are you?"

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates Kara sends a silent message of thanks to Rao for two things. The first, that Lena is not judging her choice of drink; at least for the the moment. Second, that Lena was placed into her life. Or rather, the brunette wove her way in.

Without that small smile and silent —

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — before she's even sat down or said hello to her friend.
It is a bit rude, and she will regret it later.
She also might regret failing to notice how quiet things seem; how much effort Lena has put in to make sure she's in a safe place.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates Since the decisions was made, Kara is itching to seek solace in the bar and in a certain brunette.
So much so, she may be skipping a DEO debrief in favor of flying directly to said bar.

With a quick change in the alley, Kara is then striding inside and finishing her drink —

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

The blonde feels surprisingly warm for a moment, and makes the decision to go to the dive bar as soon as she's done with this... uh... report.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

Said blonde has been in a pretty dark place as of late.

But, she hasn't had time to dwell with how busy she's been.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — pointless knick knacks around the store, silent and withdrawing further into herself.

[Kara Zor-El @OfSoulSearching]

@OfSoulsAndMates — childish and immature...that her rapid fascination with a 𝘵𝘰𝘺 was silly.

Certainly not befitting for a hero.

It's why Kara silently slinks away, wrapping her arms tighter around herself and the toy - not enough to break it, but.... -

She feigns interest in other —
