Kat managed to escape her lecture (torture session) and headed off to find something to distract her. Listening out for Lily and Sylvie, she found the two had set up a chessboard in the lounge room and were using a number of pillows spread out on the floor as a place to sit while the chessboard was set up in the middle. Kat wanted to go over and hug Lily to try and calm herself down… but she was feeling conflicted.
Despite desperately wanting to simply push the information she'd recently… acquired… from her mind, Vivian and Callisto had been right when they said the talk was mentally scarring. For someone like Kat that had a perfect memory it was even worse. As soon as she looked at Lily and the desire to hug her bubbled up, so did half a dozen other much more inappropriate thoughts and Kat found herself embarrassed. That was a surprise in and of itself.
