[Imagine she asks this and the murderer is like, Kate
Against all odds, he does actually understand that this probably isn't easy for her to ask. Her confidence is hard to miss, and he's had no reason to think it's misplaced--and while he doesn't know her well enough to know if revenge will truly carry her all the way through, he remembers her assertion, after Boothill. And he does believe in her devotion to them, that she'll search as hard as she can for the killers.
Kanda liked Cloud more than he liked most people here, and though he'd complained about Aerith, he hadn't truly hated her either. But Kanda isn't bound by his emotions, so it's easy for him to answer.]
I'll cut down whoever I need to. [That's as true at always--if she needed support, he would've stepped in no matter what. But right now, she's free to take it as agreement.] Pull yourself together. You can't look for clues if you're crying.
[KANDA BE NICE]

[ i know right...... would he stab a 12 y/o. but unfortunately, it was not kate. it was aki. also kabby and omo. tch ]
[ revenge would ring hollow if it were her real motivation. as much as she wants to find their killers, killing them wouldn't give her closure. (unless they were doing it for a prize, and even then... it would be little satisfaction). she knows it's not really them. but that won't stop her from killing those monsters -- even if it hurts her in the process. she's asked the overseers over and over in different ways, if there was any way to deal with the killers. even contain them. there isn't. so this is the only path left to her ]
[ and is smart enough to know when she needs powerful allies. this is one of those times. if she knew lavi got healed, she would have asked him too. nerd ]
.... Thanks. [ for the first part. he does not get thanked for being a jerk. she gives him a little glarey pout that doesn't have any real strength behind it. ] I'm fine. I'm not crying, and I'm not going to start again.
[TCH!!! He would stab Kate but he wouldn't like it... but it was not sweet Kate. Yet.
For now, he eyes her like he's deciding whether he wants to believe her words--but her conviction seems to ring true enough, so he just nods without further comment. There are people trickling in already, probably--they don't need to be overheard plotting murder, even if it's for the greater good.]
