Kate nods an acknowledgment of the sparring that's almost dutiful. At least Phoebe's not lecturing her on displaced aggression and bad coping strategies. Sometimes she wants to punch Will in the face just because she thinks he's going to tell her to find a better way. It's not fair to him really because she doubts he'd ever say that. But...she shrugs. Displaced aggression.

Maybe she'll try talking to Steve. He's usually good at that calming, Zen, Mentor-y crap. Or get into some trouble with Jim or Trip. They're good distractions. So's fucking Phoebe and Neal. It's just...

"It'd be easier. If we were fighting, you know? If it was dangerous. You get used to losing people like that."
