case #001 ☕ [written]

[Scrawled across the page in all caps, neatly, is the one word that sums up Kate Beckett's last few hours.]

SERIOUSLY?

For the most part, yes. There isn't much I haven't seen.

Admittedly, I haven't seen this, but when you're as old as I am, you learn to be adaptable.

Sorry, how old are you exactly?

[She's not entirely sure she wants to know the answer.]

I don't know the exact number, but I've been around since before the first humans.

Sure you have.

[Yeah, Kate doesn't believe that anymore than she does the magic castle story.]

Well, I guess it's good you've learned to adapt. Been a hell of a lot of changes since then.

Don't think I didn't pick up on that sarcasm.

Was it that obvious? No offense, but I'm not really sure how to take any of this seriously.

You'll learn, unless you're fantastically stubborn.

Yeah, suffice it to say you don't know me.

[Fantastically stubborn is probably an understatement.]

Charming.

I'm not here to make friends. I just want to figure out how to get home.

Well, then. We're very similar in one way.

I'm afraid to even ask.

And I'm not sure I care very much about going home.

[It's nice to know, she guesses. He seems just as charming as she is.]

To each their own, I guess.

Very true.

Well, thanks for your help. [She guesses.]

You're welcome.

And if that was meant to be sarcastic, you can assume that mine reply was too.

It wasn't. [Not really.] But I won't tell anyone if you don't.

Excellent. Then you don't need to read any sarcasm into mine.

[She might avoid writing from now on. Too much confusion.]

Fair enough. Good luck. Also not sarcastic. And I guess I'll be seeing you around.

I'm sure you will.
