( it's an easy enough answer. there's nothing really stopping kimberly from getting serious or taking advantage of her time here, except for that easy teenage laziness that so often pervades her choices. she doesn't have to do anything at all, really — teach a class every so often, earn her cuddle credits with people she's come to care for quite a bit, occasionally pop out to socialize with the city at large. nothing impossible. )
It doesn't have to be temporary, you know. ( she does her best to sound still casual, flippant even, but there's a hint of earnestness in her voice this time around. as if, somewhere in the back of her mind buried away, kimberly's considered it more seriously. ) We could stay here. Together, all of us.
( her gaze drops as she says it, into her lap as her fingers pluck at grasses and toy the blades back and forth. don't look at her like that, clary. )
