It was an expected response, and sadly a common one. It was also however at this moment a startling one. Celty hadn't realized someone was out here. She'd glimpsed the cats first, found it strange. A memory tickled at the back of her mind, and while it didn't completely manifest, she felt that their presence was bad news.

And then she saw a man running.

Shooter diverted his course just enough to not run Reeve over, and Celty reached out to sweep him up and pull in front of her. It wasn't going to be the most graceful thing, but even with her natural strength, it would be too awkward to get the man properly seated.
