Chapter 25 Page 11 – This is a job for a cat person

Miranda: Have a seat. It’s fine, he’s not going to care.
Timothy: We can’t give our Beings anything physical to take with them when the “battle” here is over. But it turns out there’s one thing we can do that goes with them — We can write in them.
Miranda: You’re the only one of us who actually knows Reseda. Who cares about her, as a . . . close approximation of a person.
Either of us could draw a teleport-anchoring sigil on a spare corner of her Contract. But you’re the one who could actually reach her.
Besides — we already know I can come to the rescue if you get stuck. And I’m not sure that would work in reverse.
It’s . . . pretty obvious that I like you more than you like me.
Uh…am I wrong in reading possible subtexts into this?
If you are I am probably reading the same subtexts so we can be wrong together
There’s nothing wrong with reading POSSIBLE subtexts. Worst-case scenario is you’re wrong, but this community tends to be pretty understanding about that.
Forcing contexts that are Jossed later in the text is another thing.
(Reseda/Sparrow otp. it’s sadly unlikely to be an OT3, since it seems Miranda is straight… that said, the heartache of having to say that someone you like doesn’t like you back still stings, even if you’re just talking friendship. )
We know Miranda is attracted to men. But do we know anything about her being attracted to women or otherwise? And even if she said she wasn’t in the past, people change or realise new things about themselves. Or it could just be about friendship.
We only have the evidence of absence. She never shows up in the Bi Visibility day specials, and she was absent from , all of which are non-canon, but also are where it was confirmed that Cohen was Bi…
I remember Sparrow enjoying giving Reseda pets. I mean, the title does say she’s a CAT PERSON. I don’t see that going beyond “Kitty!” Reseda is with Tim romantically, after all.
Is she? I recall that Reseda specifically saying that not all Beings are lovers but are what they need to be for their masters. I think it was heavily implied that Reseda was a friend rather than a lover.
Well, that’s one confession.
