Ellie has been suspicious of the festival, but she follows the familiar sound of guitar music anyway. It's been awhile since she heard anyone else play. Actually, the last time...no. She forces herself not to think about that, and swallows the panic that threatens her.

Kate's playing is...good. No, it's better than good. Ellie doesn't listen to a lot of country music, but there's enough people around Jackson that do that she's heard some of it before. She can't put a name to this one, but it's definitely familiar.

So she lingers nearby, managing the smallest of smiles. Even in this weird as hell situation with a bunch of other kidnapped people, it's nice to just have music. The fact that she knows it is a bonus.

After the Dolly song ends and there's a lull, Ellie comes up to Kate, hands in her pockets. She's maybe a little further away than just being polite, but it's an effort, at least.

"Hey. That was pretty good. You just do country?"
