[ Kate wasn't expecting that, and it's clear in the second it takes her to react, the instinctive flinch toward her bow that starts when Johanna shoves the door open but is cut off when she's kissed instead of punched. (She'd have felt like she maybe deserved it but that doesn't mean she wouldn't fight back.)
The softness is noticed, such a contrast to the usual. It makes Kate a little wary, makes her expect a trap. But she doesn't pull away, returning the kiss in that same almost-gentle kind and reaching around Johanna to touch the panel to shut the door behind her. ]
