It takes Kate a moment, but finally she nods, extends her hand, lets Nerys pull her up. She tries not to cling, but the other woman is at least alive and solid, like she's not a dream.
"That's all fine," Kate says, quiet but a little puzzled. A bath? Only rich women have baths. Pitchers and basins are good enough for the likes of her.
But the comment about the water being cool is... Reassuring. Normal. Of course it'd be cool, no one's put it on the stove in case of almost-drowned newcomers.
Kate's silent as they walk to the inn, answering any questions but not volunteering much. She doesn't mean to be rude, she's just trying to... To understand. To wrap her mind around this.
And as they get to the inn, and then inside, she thinks Nerys might just understand that.
