[PTL Game] out in the hallway

OM: Derek shut Kat's door and gazed at her for a moment.   He dismissed her comment, because he knew that she knew what he meant.  "Why don't you tell me what's going," he said his tone was soft but very firm.  "You can start with Kat."  There were other things, but this seemed the best place to start.   NM: Julia looked at Kat's door before raising her hand to it and making a small circular motion, giving her a clear view through the door to Patrick and Kat as she answered simply "I'm keeping a promise."   Then she looked at Derek with a sad turn of her lips that was supposed to be a smile and shrugged "Kat misses her dad.  I brought him to her for a visit and we were talking.  She can.. she can call me with the cross I gave her.  The one my father gave me."   She knew Derek would know what cross it was she was talking about and she looked at the Precept with knowing blue eyes.  Eyes that were still open but held a hint of the other emotions she was trying hard to hide from anyone that would look too closely.   "I don't know what all is going on with her," she added with a sigh "But she's trying things she's not ready for.. and I don't know how but I get the impression she's not alone on it."   She was hesitant about telling Derek how she had found Kat but knew that he would understand better than most and just might have a solution that wouldn't alienate Kat from them "She projected herself to the other side Derek.  If it hadn't had been for the cross Patrick or I wouldn't have found her.  I.. I had to have Patrick help me when I couldn't pin point her location at first."   She chewed her bottom lip before getting into the rest "And as for the other stuff...... what is there to say?"   She looked at him with an expression torn - something someone would never expect of a guardian angel or whatever it was she was  "I don't belong here... and I shouldn't have believed."
