Skylar shook his head. "No, I get it. I..." He glanced towards the kitchen, where Cat had disappeared. "It's not a good situation, and I don't want Cat to get hurt. I'm worried too, and I didn't even see what you did. I'm just... trying to be optimistic I guess." He sat back as she pulled away and drank more water, frowning as she mentioned failing everyone. "How? What do you think you can do? You warned us what to expect from April, and that's more than we had before." He paused, realizing she hadn't warned everyone. "Wait, why didn't you tell Jonathan or Cat?"
"You cleaned up my mess last night. More than once, from the looks of my living room. So you just stand there and try to look pretty or something," Cat teased, glancing over at him with a smile before she turned back to the dishes. She accepted what he said about Skylar, since that did sound like something he'd do, but started in surprise and tensed when he mentioned what happened. She took a breath, glancing out at Skylar and Florence at the table together, then back to Jonathan. "Don't apologize. It wasn't her fault," she started, then hesitated before continuing softly, finding herself wanting to give him some sort of explanation, "It's also partially why I threw up last night. Things weren't... great for me before I became Fate. I'm fine most of the time, but sometimes there are just things that make me have bad reactions. Give me a little time when it happens, and I'll be fine. It's nothing to worry about."
