That was not confirmation. And if it were it wouldn't be something that needs congratulations.
Why are you suddenly so interested in my sex life lately?
[ In a break from the 'everyone texts forever' show, here's a voice message—a deliberate choice, because he doesn't want there to be any room for thinking he's entertained instead of very very sorry. ]
Kate? Hello. I'm very sorry, but I think someone—Johanna, maybe?—accidentally connected with me somehow while she was with you. Not for very long. [ White lies? ] I wouldn't even say anything, but I thought you should know in case it wasn't only me. Maybe she could learn not to do that anymore.
Sorry.
[ Also sorry for telling Sirius, kind of. You know how it is. ]

[ It takes a minute for Kate to figure out what he means, but only a minute. The initial 'what?' at so many parts of that is rapidly replaced by understanding, at least half thanks to Sirius. Except no thanks to Sirius. Or to Remus. No thanks to anybody. ]
And so of course you told Sirius all about it, too. Awesome, thanks so much. This is all just-- really great. I've always wanted to star in a psychic sex tape.

I didn't tell him all about it. Only that it happened, so he would know why I'm never going to come out of hiding. [ And some other things, but—besties. You know. ] I can probably have someone Obliviate me, honestly, so—I just wanted you to know so you could be careful.
[ She does know, and later will more or less understand, but she is also kind of mortified just at the moment and that is more easily handled as anger. ]
Yeah, right. Like you guys won't be laughing about it forever. How much did you get?
[ The accusation is totally unfair and she's not actually sure if she wants to know the answer to the question, or to have this conversation even if she does want to know, but she blurts it out anyway. ]

So, everything. Awesome. Awesome.
[ This is the worst. ]
[ This is the worst. ]
Hopefully. It'd be better if it was a stranger.
[ There's a long pause and a sigh, resigned. ]
We're going to have to just pretend this didn't happen.

We're going to have to just pretend this didn't happen.
I guess. [ More sighing, frustrated. ] I was having a good day before this, too.
[ But he already knew that. ]
[ But he already knew that. ]
We both know that's not true.
[ he doesn't get to ignore his mistakes while they're talking about johanna ]
What did you talk to her about?
[ he doesn't get to ignore his mistakes while they're talking about johanna ]
What did you talk to her about?
[ wait for it... ]
Yes.
[ Though that will presumably mean seeing each other, and so she almost backs out again as soon as she's agreed but whatever. WHATEVER. Nothing happened, everything is fine. ]
Gym in ten?
Yes.
