When Alex announced the battle finished Catherine took a deep shuddering breath. She hated this so much. Not being able to go help the first pilot she actually befriend since her lost fight. She maintained a mask of calm though internally she was roiling with pent up emotion. The last straw was Jake demanding he meet her in the mess.<br/><br/>As he disappeared from command rage welled up in her. 'Who does he think he is...' She growled to herself stalking through the halls to the mess. 'Bossing me around like he owns the place.' She was practically snarling when she reached the mess. Trainees were scrambling out of her path. She could hear them whispering about the poor bastard that pissed her off. When she entered the mess and spotted Jake sitting at his ease eating she stormed across the room bristling like an angry cat.<br/><br/>She stood in front of his table her hands on her hips and angry glint in her eyes. "Who do you think you are?!" She demanded. "You can't just demand me presence at your convenience!" She was falling into her usual angry lecturing tone. A few feet away a couple of trainees were taking bets on if she would go across the table at him.<br/><br/>(i know he didn't mean to make her angry its just part of her personality~kuro)
