"Do I really?" The Precept was a bit surprised that she'd read his emotions
so clearly. He had been doing his best to shove them away. "You don't need
to cut yourself off like this," he told her firmly. "It's bothering you and
it's bothering me and I suspect it's troubling Nick a bit too."
"Yes you do." she verified with the same tilt to her lips, then slipped her
arms around his waist and pointed out "And I won't totally cut myself off
from it but I'm not going to put you into a position where you catch flack
either. I'll call London while you're out and tell Sloan to pick up the
pace and be back to bugging you on some kind of level while kicking the
Foundation paperwork into shape.
"It is just very irritating," she admitted with a sigh "Not knowing. I
still want to back off in the more physical, confrontational parts, but the
not knowing... well that is what's bothering me. And I know this is your
House, but you know I'm not going to knowingly do something that is going to
land you in hot water and we both know that there are those that embody the
term 'anal retentive' tendencies. We don't need to borrow trouble."
"Now," she pointed to her lips "Gimme a kiss and remember Italian later and
I promise not to buy out the store or mall. Hmmm, and you owe me a how-to
for the jack."
