[Karen's missed Elektra, so she clings a little tightly during that hug.] Guilty as charged. [She laughs, reluctantly pulling away as Elektra gets her into the room. She promptly goes over to sit on the edge of the bed. She's feeling better now, but is still tired.]
So... [She starts to speak, smiling in a knowing kind of way.]
[Elektra slots in next to Karen. She seems very chipper if only because it's felt like forever.] They're better. It's impossible to stay angry at him when he's sad. He did apologize for everything.
[Here's where she pauses. It'd be smarter to never speak of this, but she wants to be honest with Karen. Part of that isn't censoring the past. She looks uncomfortable as she explains it.] And upon reflection I realize it wouldn't be fair to hold a grudge forever. He was pretty nasty to me when we first started working together, but he still did it despite the mistake I made before we parted ways. I owed him the same courtesy.
