[The sound of a familiar voice yelling is what gets her attention. Kate's plan had been simple: snoop around, try and find out if anyone she'd known was here, change into a much more reasonable form, and then show up and talk to them.
Unfortunately, the more instinctual part of her brain, the one used to protect her friends in the middle of a trial, is what takes over at that yell. Potentially saving a friend in trouble is far more important than not surprising them by showing up looking like a wild animal, right?
A wild animal that happens to have a cute pastel pink scarf around its neck, but a wild animal none the less. Who's tail is wagging about a mile a minute as she looks up at Nancy, putting herself between the her and the lumbering figure. Who definitely notices the very non-human shape and turns around quite quickly in apparent fright.
Give Kate a moment to not make this weird. She's just happy to see another friend out of the fog.]
