And she was fairly sure Jane would pick up on her comment about
things going on everywhere; Kristin had been a bit surprised that Jane
hadn't called San Francisco when Julia's trial occurred; she was
certain Jane had known about it.  And she wasn't entirely sure how she
was going to bring up the question of Amber's injury--coming right out
and accusing your Precept of attacking another member of the House
wasn't something she did often.

Jane's left eyebrow raised.  She heard what Kristin said, as well as what
the younger woman hadn't said.  Jane hadn't asked about the 'things' going
on everywhere.  She was a Precept.  She knew the moment the decision was
made about Julia Walker now Rayne.

"And the 'things going on everywhere'," she asked "Have halted enough for
you to finally check in with your Precept?"

"What, you didn't think you could pick up the phone in between the trial
verdict and sitting in the isle of Derek's wedding to let us know how things
were going?"

Jane met the other's gaze, unbending as was her usual way "Or did you not
want to call in because you are once again thinking of changing Houses on
us?"
