She accepted the chair, taking what her daughter said to heart. She couldn't fault Cassie for worrying, or call her out for exaggerating either; they both knew she was only alive because of the Train's intervention.

"Well, now you know how I felt when you were a teenager and running off all the time." She very nearly laughed, but if this was karma, she still wasn't sure if it was fair or not.

A serving woman came up to the table and asked if they would like anything (adding that drinks were on the house); Sonya asked for some wine and whatever food they had available. Worn out and still buzzed from adrenaline, she wasn't entirely hungry, but it had been several days since she'd had a proper meal and she knew she'd sleep better with something more substantial than dried meat and water.

"And your position in the army doesn't make me worry any less, Pumpkin. You may've beaten Shinnok, but you're still human and it's only luck you haven't been wounded in action yet."

Or at the very least least, not so wounded she needed to take time off to rest and recover. So really, now they were just even.
