Kate shook her head, not quite expecting that share either. "No, you're looking pretty good," she had to agree. Surprisingly unconcerned and peppy about dying in such a gory way.

"And thanks? I guess." A close connection to death wasn't something Kate had ever really relished. At all. "Did you--" Her knowledge on these things was fuzzy (by her standards) but generally there needed to be something holding a shade back from the afterlife. A tether.
