Kasey returned Liam's smile and held up the bruise cream.

"It's just bruise cream. It helps me a lot," she explained. "I, uh, I'm pretty clumsy, so I get hurt a lot."

Liam nodded, “That’s understandable.” He replied, “Thanks for lending it to me.” He rubbed at his neck.

"Yeah, it's no problem," Kasey assured him. She blinked a couple of times with a sudden thought. "Do you need help with that at all?" She gestured to the area around Liam's eye with her free hand.

Liam shook his head, “No, I think I’ve got it. I’m not the injured, Kasey.” A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. It was only then when Mortem rubbed against his legs and Kasey’s, “Bloody cat.” He muttered.

"Hey, kitty," Kasey murmured, bending down to pet the cat. She scratched behind his ear, then straightened to hand the jar to Liam. "Here ya go."

Liam took it graciously, “Thankyou, and don’t mind him, he’s an attention seeker.” He indicated to Mortem at Kasey’s feet and rolled his eyes as Mortem rubbed up against her leg.

"Oh, that's perfectly okay," Kasey laughed. "My cat, Ginger, is the same way. She's either looking for attention or hiding."

Liam chuckled, “Yeah, Mortem here is either trying to get attention for eating. The amount of food I go through for him is insane,” He shrugged, “Oh well, as long as he’s happy.”

(It's five in the morning, and my friends and I are still awake…)

Kasey laughed a bit. "He's going to be overweight if you feed him too much," she teased Liam.

(Aha, I’ve had that before, it’s only 7:40 in the evening for me)

“I know, I know. I tried putting him in a diet… that didn’t work out at all.” He laughed slightly at the memory.

(Oh, wow. Lol. Very different time zones.)

"Yeah, I'm sure," Kasey agreed, laughing along with him. "I'm sure Ging would be perfectly ticked if I tried putting her on a diet. Not that she even needs it. She's pretty small."

(Aha, yeah, I’m guessing you’re in America or England?)

“Mortem’s not that fat, I don’t know how but… I mean… he’s a little over weight but not as much as I would have expected after all he eats.” He replied, picking his cat and scratching his ear.

(America. Does that mean you're in Australia?)

"He's magic!" Kasey joked. "Super-duper metabolism spell!"

(Yup, got the right)

Liam laughed, “If he was magic that would be great, maybe he could help figure out my life problems. It was also be a great story for the magazine too.”

(Lol. I've always wanted to visit Australia.)

"I'm sure it would," Kasey agreed, nodding. "Which magazine do you work for?"

(Aha, I’ve always wanted to go to America)

“Observer,” He shrugged, “Nothing to special but it gets the bills paid and gets me fed.”

(Haha. Probably not where I'm from! ;P)

"Ah, I see. That's the one that writes about Kinesie, right?" Kasey asked, feigning ignorance as she cocked her head to the side.

(Honestly same would apply to me though)

Liam nodded, “Yeah, that’s the one. I just sent my first draft to my boss earlier for Sunday's Story.”

(lol. Yeah, I kinda though that when I was typing. But I honestly don't even care. I just want to come back with an accent so I can bother my sister… She hates when I try to do one.)

He's the one who writes about me?

"O-oh, really? Well, I, um, I'm sure it turned out… great," Kasey stumbled over her words, unsure of what to do.

(Aha, well, better late then never, goodnight then)

Liam rubbed at his neck, “Yeah, thank-you. Thanks again for the cream, but um… I won’t keep you.” He said, coughing a little out of awkwardness.

Kasey smiled a bit, attempting to stem the awkwardness at least a little. "Right. Yeah. I'll just, uh, go, I guess. Let me know if you need anything else, okay?"

Liam nodded, “I will, thanks again for the help, I’m sure your magical cream will help in no time.” He joked, holding his door open for her.

"I hope so," Kasey laughed, stepping out into the hall. "I'll see you later, Liam."

“Totally, see you soon.” He replied, smiling before he gently shut the door behind her before walking over to his computer, checking his emails again.
