To be truthful, Kate has a lot of patience born from what her father used to call 'Now Katie' moments. As a girl, whenever something made her livid he'd often approach with his soft English voice, and say Now, Katie, a lady minds her manners, or Now, Katie, a Barlow takes the high road. Kate's temper runs hot, but he almost always talked her down with his quiet reasonableness.
However, Tommy isn't her father.
And he's never seen her temper.
She looks at him, like she's throwing a set of ice-tipped daggers straight at him. She rumbles like a thunderstorm when she's angry, lightning quick and deluge fierce.
"Well. I reckon that's it, then. You almost beat 'im up, so I should feel infinitely better, right? I'm glad that's been decided."
She still says nothing about Voodoo touching her: number one, because it's really not the biggest issue with Kate right now; and number two, because he did touch her. Just not in the way Tommy suspects. And she is not about to get into that right now.
"I'm glad you got your peace of mind, but this really ain't about you, Tommy. It ain't about puttin' your mind at ease. An' I don't need you fightin' my battles for me."
