Johanna will find her way back to the upper hand in no time at all. She will not allow herself a loss to Kate, not in any way at all. This is a momentary set back--and while she's not exactly sure of how it began, it isn't going to last. Two minutes, at most. Then she'll be flirting with Kate all over again.

Right now, though, Johanna's mouth twitches a little, hitching downwards toward a scowl. She does not like the look of her axe in Kate's hard right now, but she manages not to leap on her and snatch it back.

"If I'm not interested, it's just because that's not a trade of equal value." She's too irritated to drawl out her response, as she might have done if she had a better command of herself. "One little hookup from you wouldn't repay lessons from me. But go on and tell me why you think I wouldn't be interested."
