[PTL Game] Julia, Kat: Control Room

[julia walker]

Julia sat at a console and set Kat up on the one next to her, splitting her screen to let Kat do both the first hunt and the added idea of security.   "We're going to make a security expert out of you yet, Kit Kat." she commented with a grin as she finished and then called up the schematics of the House and grounds on the main viewer and started on the demos she had told Derek about.  She absently adjusted her chair as her mind drifted to earlier before she started typing on the ten-key with one hand to start the process and massaging her forehead with the other.   Hard headed people, she thought with a soft, wry smile, thinking of more than just the knock they had had.   She was recalling how it felt when......... she mentally sighed and closed her eyes, fingers stilling for a moment.   If Derek knew what she was thinking he'd probably order her back to the second floor thinking he had not only Sam's hormones to deal with but her own.   And why wasn't she ordering herself to straighten up and stop thinking about Derek other than that of the Precept of this House?   Because, she answered herself, you've never thought of him like that and you know it.   Doesn't matter, she countered herself, he'd probably dismiss it anyway, despite what she had seen in his gaze earlier.  He had moved you away and left as fast as he could without being rude, didn't he.  What's to say he wasn't sparing you the embarrassment of letting you know you made an ass of yourself?   The next time she sighed it escaped her and she opened her eyes, looking up at the main screen but not really seeing it.   Way to go Walker.
