"I was all for something," she answers, archly, purposefully leaving that undefined and perhaps with a touch of suggestiveness. There's no disguising the frank irritation that's already crept into her tone, and the way that she looks at Kate suggests that she wouldn't want to disguise it anyways. If there's one thing Johanna hates--and she hates a lot of things, but she especially hates being one-upped or outclassed in some way. Kate's smirking does nothing but turn the pin on her irritation.

"You're probably a crappy student anyways," she tells Kate, tartly, determined to take some of the life out of that smirk. "I don't have all day to waste my time on charity cases, Katie. But I might let you practice with me, if you ask really nicely. Why," almost in the same breath, all without missing a beat, "are you asking."
