Malcolm picks up on her reaction, of course. "Sorry," he whispers. "I didn't mean to startle you. Just.... thank you."

He leans over Kate slightly, to check her color and the progress of the healing.

"Will's right, Kate," he says gently. "Looks like you've got some friends in high places."

In its own way, the healing is abrupt enough to be a kind of shock to Kate's system, but her body seems to be coping with it well.
