"Safe" isn't a word that belongs in Katherine's vocabulary anymore. It's something she yearns for, most definitely, but it is not something she will ever attain. Over the last decade, she has learned that painful lesson, despite hoping against all odds it wasn't a final lesson with nothing else left to follow.
She looks at Freya, assessing her for a moment. It isn't the first time she would find herself at the potential end of an extended invitation from a kind host. Witches, however, simply made her uncomfortable for the power they yielded over her weaknesses she couldn't control.
"No," she answers honestly. She looks a little put out, as though it's troubling she has nowhere to go. Almost sheepishly, she admits, "There have been no safe places for me for some time."
Freya offers her a small smile in return, before gesturing for her to follow. She knows it's probably not an offer most would take from a stranger, but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. Especially when you don't have any other options.
"You can stay with me. At least for the day. You'll be safe, and you can go on your way tomorrow night."
