What? [ Kate isn't first to the door, ranging off to the side and hanging back a little, covering their tail though there's no reason to expect they'll have any trouble. It's just a habit, coupled with the over-caution of a brand new captain who really doesn't want to lose anyone to rookie mistakes on her first time out. So Kitty's sudden appearance, her weird question-- they give her pause.
Kate ducks between people to arrive at the front of the ground, expression stern, a tight-lipped frown that's all dark brows and wary uncertainty. Behind her back, she has a hand under her shirt, gingerly wrapping around the grip of a pistol. Just in case.
She takes Kitty in, looks her up and down, and then stares at her face for another moment. Something is off, something is familiar about her, and that's weird, because she can't place her face and she's good with faces. It sets her teeth on edge. ]
Do I know you?
[ Her fingers close around metal warm from sitting next to her skin all afternoon, just a little slick with sweat on the one side. She squeezes tighter, until the grip pattern digs into her palm, but doesn't draw yet. Instead she glances around at the rest of her crew, a brow lifted in question. Anybody got anything, here? ]
