"No, it wouldn't," there are very few people who could say something that would make Steph stop, and neither Cass nor her mom are here. But she's so relieved to know Kate doesn't hate her for this, and the tension leaves her body. She won't smile, because there's still too much pain in the room for that.

"You won't have to know about it from now on." Steph had to tell her once, to let Kate now how far she was willing to go, but from here on Steph will keep it to herself whenever she kills someone, and she'll stay her hand if she's fighting with Kate around. She can give her that much.

After that she's silent for a moment, shifting her position on the couch so she's sitting properly, facing Kate, "Do you want to talk about it?" There's no doubt what it is, but Steph will give her the option to say no.
