[ If there had been any irritation before, it seems to have dissolved into the sticky, hot air. All that's left in Kate now is exhaustion that she can feel finally sinking into her bones. ]
A lot of them are better off back home.
[ Even Renee who's about to face hell. Losing the respect of her colleagues, losing her partner, her parents, Vic... ]
Kate, you wouldn't be wearing appropriate sunglasses if you didn't feel anything about it.
[Kate isn't the type of person to sulk about those losses herself. It's something that scares her about herself, and her ability to pull herself back up and keep moving. The fact that she's aware of it means that other people are different. She knows it, and she prefers it.
No one's like Kate Bishop. Sometimes ... most of the time, it's better that way.]
[Says Kate, unaware that most of her moments of confiding in others are external. But she'll never be fully aware, not unless someone finally points it out.
Still, she shakes her head and looks away.]
Anyway, if you need help on ... the other part of our lives, you can call me.
[ Sophie had told her the same thing years ago when they were still young and maybe a bit idealistic.
A lot's changed since then and Kate's had to learn to do what she needs to alone. There's no turning back to the people who have hurt her or worse, lied to her face for chunk of her life. ]
I'll keep it under advisement.

[There's something about Kate's response that makes Kate think that she's not going to really take it under advisement. There's also something that tells her she's not the first person to try this.
She's going to have to report back to Matt. After all, Kate can't help but be a busy body, and it's not like she has to throw in "and she's Batwoman" while being overly concerned.]
Good. [It's said even though she doubts that's going to happen. Kate wants to make it sound like she's taking the other Kate's statement seriously.]
[ She takes a step back, reaching up for her sunglasses and hauling them back over her eyes. She doesn't want to argue this with someone who's lent a hand in the search for Renee. She owes her that much. ]
