( A good feeling indeed, and Kate misses that feeling of purpose, that sense of using her powers for the right things. But they're not needed here, not like they were back home. Instead, she has to find new ways to make herself useful, to do something other than sit around and wait.
Waiting has never felt correct. Not when she could be doing, but the question of what? Kate can't answer that. The clinic is better without her and though fighting monsters is familiar, is something she's unnervingly good at, it leaves her uneasy each time its over. Drained and staring down all the parts of herself she'd rather package up so tightly they can never be uncovered.
All of it seems to vanish for the moment, faced with the choice of doing a million other things. Being with a friend. Relaxing. Getting a drink and braiding hair. All those little things done while talking and Kate gestures with a nick of her head — follow her.
(And yes, it's George, just like it's Kate rather than Katherine. Aren't they both glad of that?) )
Bit of everything. ... You're learning magic? From who?
( There's just as much curiosity hidden in Kate's voice, the unspoken that's really cool buried in her tone. )
