Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
It's evening and Ekaterina is at her compound with most of her men in place. Since Donatelli Fuchnello's assassination attempt on her security has been beefed up. Not that Kat being what she is really needed it. She had yet to figure on what she was going to do to retaliate. Probably just messing with the guys mind. She is doing what she usually does painting in a large baggy sweater with nothing but her underwear on. And one of her stupid hats this one is a pikachu one. She'd recently taken up playing pokemon go. If Frank knoecked on the door he would be let straight in. Kat's instructions are a standing access all areas where Frank was concerned.

Punisher has posed:
Frank does knock on the door and he's let in. He hasn't been around since the assassination attempt and wanted to drop in and make sure Kat was doing alright. Kat's men let him inside and motion towards the studio where she usually spends her time and he shows himself in. Strolling past the armory he approaches the studio entrance and taps his knuckle against the door frame before stepping in and glancing over to see her in her oversized sweater, "Hey. Am I interrupting?"

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat turns around and there it is again that look with stars in her eyes. "Eccolo, è il mio pungente salvatore, la mia musa oscura, il mio amore." It may not make much sense to Frank unless he is proficient in Italian but it does sound awfully romantic. "You're always welcome here Frank. Come to check up on me? I don't deserve the attention but I appreciate it." She teleports from where she is to where Frank is and wraps him in a big hug. Probably getting paint on him in the process. Then she looks up at him wiht those big wonderful cornflower blue peepers of hers.

Punisher has posed:
Frank comes from an Italian background and the language was spoken around him during his youth but he's since forgotten the vast majority of it. A few of the words he can pick out. Salvatore, oscura, amore. While he doesn't know exactly what she's saying, those particular words in that order gives him a reasonable idea.

"Just wanted to make sure you're alright after.." he says and then stops as she teleports just in front of him. He glances her over, ".. well, you know." He returns her hug by sliding one of his arms around her and giving her the slightest of hugs back and glances over at the room, not noticing any paint getting on him. Not that he would really care. "Busy painting?"

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat steps back and does a little curtsey, "Always painting. I'm not idle rich you know. I'm Apocalypse and Warlord Crules arty bratty little sister." Crule had made the news recently with his genocidal shenanigans in Africa. Interesting that he is connected to Kat as well. "Casn I fix you a drink or get you a beer?" Kat offers. "I'm having some wine as usual."

Punisher has posed:
Crule. Frank recalls seeing something about that in the news lately. The thing going on in Kenya. It seems like there isn't much that Kat isn't connected to around the world. He watches as she curtseys and steps in, walking over towards the couch and leans against the arm, "I'll have a beer." He follows the girl with his eyes and still can't quite believe she's 1200 years old and was able to heal after being shot up so much.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"Lets go European," Kat gets Frank a Grolsch again and snags her wine glass. "Yeah busy busy busy. I called Crule the other day on his satellite phone you know. He thought I was a telemarketer. Great family I have. First time I met that guy he tried to kill me. That was 1200 years ago. Second time I met him we made up but I had enough of his savagery so I returned the favor and I set this Puritan hunter called Solomon Kane on his butt and apparently Solomon burned him to death somewhere in Africa back in the 1600s. All that and would you believe Crule was delighted to hear from me?"

Punisher has posed:
Watching Kat as she gets him a beer and talks about Crule, Frank arches a brow and tilts his head to the side as he reaches out and takes the offered beer and lifts the bottle up in a 'cheers' motion before taking a long drink. Exhaling after swallowing he shakes his head, "I gotta tell ya Kat. I don't know what to make of you." He folds his arms over his chest, resting the bottle against his tricep, "I mean you're over a thousand years old, you heal from being shot, you look like you just graduated high school." He scoffs more to himself than out loud, "It's crazy."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
"Nature just rolled the dice too many times Frank. Like I said I think that the old unpopular because of it's racist origins theory of convergent evolution explains it all. We have all these whacko creatures interacting with our planet. Like the alien Asgardians, Kryptonians etc. So nature goes into overdrive assymetrically improving humans. Then the humans it improves become a threat to the exisitng stock of ordinary humans further feeding back into the system. Then boom! You have metahumans and mutants all over the darned place. My older sister is closed to twenty thousand years old. She thinks she's some sort of goddess and wants to be worshipped. I hold no such pretensions Frank. I'm just a girl as much cursed as I am blessed. A girl who is very much enamored of you by the way," Kat adds smiling at Frank sweetly.

Punisher has posed:
Taking another drink as he listens, Frank shrugs his shoulders and leans his head to the side a bit before nodding, "I guess so." Her comment about being enamored with him draws a slight grin across his face and he shakes his head, "I'm not sure why. I'm a pretty normal person compared to the types you've come across during your time, am I right?" He raises the bottle again, "I appreciate it though." He takes another drink.

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat laughs looking at Frank fondly, "I've been around soldiers my whole life Frank. I even marched an army down to besiege th Holy See in Rome to levy the Pope over my Brother in Laws divorce. I have to say at the very least you would have to be one of the most exceptional soldiers I have seen if not the best. That's got to count for something. And I like the way you saved me and protect me. I don't know. Dotcha think I'm cute?"

Punisher has posed:
Being considered an exceptional soldier by someone who has not only been around for as long as she had, but who has been involved in so much conflict, certainly does mean more than if those sentiments were expressed by the average person. He chuckles and awkwardly lifts a hand to rub the back of his neck, "You're easy on the eyes, sure."

Ekaterina Vespucci has posed:
Kat takes that as her cue and walks up to Frank taking his free hand the one not holding his beer in her soft small hands and feels it's callouses and strength. She weighs Frank's reaction hoping that he wont pull away. Looking up at him with those big eyes. It is amazing how soft Kat's hands are given that she does so much work with them.
