Phoenix could teach Ray Shields a thing or two about tactful hugging, tbh

There's a part of her-- the part that is still very much a kid-- that's scared to see him leave. But she also understands that having him stick around any longer would be unwise, to say the least. Plus, he can't exactly work at springing her from this joint if he stays down here just to keep her company!

Little about her outward appearance betrays that vulnerability, anyway. Kay is ALL fierce determination at the moment. With a job to focus on and an ally on the outside, there's now a fiery spark in her eyes which was all but absent when this conversation first started.

"Got it. I'll see you then. You can count on me, Mr. Wright! Ah--"

She nabs a few more pasties from the basket, bundling them into her arms.

"...Can't hurt to stash a few of these, right? Oh, and one more thing! If it's not too much trouble, can you see if you can sneak me a hair tie or something when you come by tomorrow, 'kay?" She pointedly blows a few stray bangs out of her eyes. "'Cuz this whole situation? It's intolerable."
