The seasoned watcher flinched a bit as the pack approached uncertain if that were the only thing that was going to fly her way. She wouldn't blame the dark slayer if she did want to take a pot shot at her. If the blow didn't appear to be of the bone breaking variety she would probably let the girl strike her. She certainly deserved it. The blows that came her way were of a more verbal fashion. And just as quick as the spurt of temper came the girl was gone.
With a sigh Katherine's knees buckled. Back against the cave wall near the mouth it was a slow slide to sit with knees tucked against her chest. Retrieving a cigarette she popped it between full lips and began the search for a lighter. 'You'd think with all the pockets on this bloody utility belt that I would have a bleedin' lighta somewhe'e,' her mind grumbled over her audible sigh. With an annoyed groan the watcher fished through the loose rocks there and luckily came across two small peices of flint. Striking them together she took a slow puff and a moment to appraise her situation. She could see that she was self destructing. The why's were far too many and varied to even attempt to pin it down. Better to deal with the situation at hand. It would be best if she avoided Kai and Kel all together. Sexual and romantic troubles were luxuries a watcher could not afford she reminded herself. Focus on her responsibilities was the first plan of action, quickly followed by making amends to her sister. Family is the bond that never dies. It took quite sometime to realize this, but with the resolution firmly in mind she was able to pick herself up and carry on.
