"Sooo what're you gonna do about Nathan?"
Kelli turns from her preening to stare at Harris, affecting unconcern. "DO about him? Darlin', of all the things that can be said about him and our really weird relationship, I can promise you that nothing's been ... DONE."
Mark squints his eyes closed, then opens them again. "Not what I meant, but nice sidestepping. I mean it though - he's wigging out a bit more than usual, and what the hell was that costume change all about? And the VIOLENCE?"
"Dude, it's pro-wrestling. Violence kind of happens."
"He tried to peg a guy to the ring."
"You know, pegging can actually mean -"
Harris claps his hands over his ears, shaking his head vigorously. "NOPE. NOPE NOPE. NOT LISTENING."
Giggling merrily, Kelli hops up from her vanity bench and skips over to Harris, dropping a sweet little kiss on his cheek.
"Fine, I'll stop. Anyway, I'm wondering if we can pull it off this Trauma."
"Pull what off, a win? Against Tide and Wasp?"
"I mean, I'm ready to beat their asses, and I'm pretty sure we can. I hope we can, at least. Yeah yeah yeah, former champs, whatever. But unless Tide can put the rum down and Wasp can shake his stoic try-hard bullshit, we could have it won."
"Don't overlook them that easy. You've had a lot going on this week, you hardly seem ready. What makes you think you'll win?"
"Nathan's gone beast mode. That shit ain't easy to fight. I'm worried FOR them though."
"Worried? Why?"
She shrugs. "Back to that whole 'Nathan has weirded the fuck out and entered the dark side' thing. He'll hurt them if I'm not careful - hurt them BADLY."
"What do you mean if YOU'RE not careful?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. Somehow I'm one of the only things keeping Nathan from REALLY wigging out and wreaking mass havoc. Seems everyone (including him) doubts my ability to do so."
"Well... you've not always been the most consistent."
Instead of getting angry, Kelli shrugs. "Yeah. Yeah that's true. But this is kind of a big deal. This is ALL a big deal, and Nathan is important to me. This true love thing man... sure it sounds hokey, but I really feel it this time - and I'm going to do anything I have to do to recall him to himself."
She pulls a few curls from her bouffant hairstyle to drape artfully around her face.
"Even if that means hurting him."
