It isn't anything unusual in itself, but she can safely say that she's never been the person captaining a venture. It's completely alien to her that someone else would place themselves in her hands in this way, let alone a near stranger. She wonders if other people feel this way about her, wondering why she would want to tag along so obediently.

She begins to lead them toward the looming Citadel, where she knows some friendly cats roam. ]
