Kurtis stepped around the corner, out into the open.
"Not bad."

"...Thanks," she replied after a moment of recovery. An oddly normal reaction, but after meeting Boy and Shadow and witnessing the dead walking, talking animals were no longer that much of a shock, even if they hadn't fallen under Jill's range of relatively normal just yet.
She lowered her gun, but it remained in her hand at her side. "You're one of the newer arrivals?" she assumed.

Cautiously, he took a few steps forward. There was no sense in shouting at each other across a room, but he wanted to be careful in case she decided to attack, after all.

"Not long, then. I'm Jill," she offered after a brief pause, decidedly closing some of the distance with a few steps of her own. "Jill Valentine."

"Good to see you in top shape," he said with a smirk as he leaned on a corner wall. It'd been far too long since they'd talked.

"Yeah, I hear that. Damn it's good to see you like this." He walked forward, clapping Jill gently on the shoulder, the conversation he had with Tifa still fresh in his mind.
"So... how's things on your end?"

"As well as I can hope for," she replied, shrugging lightly. "That whole stunt that Dooku and the others pulled... I'm just glad it ended well, more or less, from what I can tell. Other than that... it's a little too quiet, you know?"

Well. At least she was getting around, the lost end was a bit more difficult to not fall into. If only Senpai was here...
The ending cries of a nearby mannequin caught her attention, causing her to run to a nearby corner and peer over, looking at what she could. Through all the mirrors and nearby sounds, she could make out the figure of a woman nearby, obviously either struggling to fix her gun or taking a moment to do something else.
A breath's pause, and then she spoke. "Usually one tends to retreat to safety right after a battle." Gun was raised slightly, as she had no idea how or what side this person was on. It was better to not take any chances.

"I don't have a lot of experience with that luxury," she replied coolly. "If I come out of it fine, I keep going."

"Then I suppose you're not like most policemen I know back home." There was the hint of a small smile at that, indicating she wasn't going to harm Jill. But at the same time, she still didn't let go of her gun. Precaution was something necessary, especially in her field.

Jill caught that hint, and glanced aside dismissively after another couple seconds. She wasn't entirely sure how to take that comment--although it seemed to be a positive one--but she admitted in good humor, "Probably not." She paused. "I've... been in some crazy situations that most cops wouldn't come close to," she said evenly. "Some of them back when I worked in the force myself." She looked ahead again, offering her own slight smile. "It's habit more than anything."

She might have echoed the other's words, but her own realization was clear enough without them. It didn't take her long to deduce the rest of her reaction, though; she hadn't wanted to fight this young woman before, and she certainly didn't want to do so now, and she was more than perceptive enough to have concluded that that much had been mutual in the battle. Barely two seconds after her comprehension, Jill let her gun arm fall to her side, her posture straightening back from its poise into something more neutral, even if she remained wary. Perceptive or not, she didn't know this girl.
There wasn't much to say in reply to being recognized as an enemy, though, so Jill only gave a slight nod after a moment.
