Because human slang is stupid, Glayglay. She sits a bit more upright hearing Maketh's name - the term know her feels somewhat incorrect, but for the sake of not having to explain the entire situation of the end days of the fog, her interrogation and their drunken conversation, Kate settles for an affirmative nod. Yeah, know her will do.

The news of him joining the city guard causes her to blink - as much in surprise as in slight apprehension. Thanks to more pressing issues in their relationship (such as the guilt she had long been feeling about not explaining how her past related to his, so to speak), Kate never felt the compulsion to explain her involvement in Sharon's quest to him. But this turn of events means that he's almost certain to find out - she doubts the Guard are in the habit of keeping such news secret.

She bites her tongue, but keeps her expression neutral. This wasn't the time for that discussion, and - if she tries to think more optimistically - maybe Glacius' opinion of her will carry some weight whenever they get around to deciding on a sentence for that fuck up.

So, instead of going down that little path, Kate lets her lips curl into a small smile. "Suits you." Because it does. Because he's incredibly good at protecting people.
