It was almost a shock, finding herself in a spartan-like apartment by herself, when for almost a year she lived in a palace with Shang Tsung, the servants, guards, assassins. She changed out of the rich, silk clothes she arrived in and now in more comfortable blue jean trousers, blouse, and her hair pulled back in a tail, she felt more at ease than she'd ever been back home.

Sonya managed to find the internet cafe easily enough, the mile walk nothing like the daily five miles she ran every day to keep fit. She stepped inside, taking a seat at a small table while she looked around for Eckert.

She raised her tumbler in a toast.

"Friendship's good, and my home world didn't treat me that bad, at least nothing that I deeply regret in the end. Seriously, going from lieutenant to Queen in less than a day, even part of me was sort of flattered deep down. Even if it was more of a business contract than the usual 'marry for love' type of deal: it has its perks.

	He raised an eyebrow. "Sounds like a crazy kind of life. I am glad I have just always been a normal person." He sipped his shake. "Afraid of heights, quiet, and always glad to be alive. That's me, really." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Sonya takes a bite of her lunch, making sure to not speak until she's swallowed. Just because she's lived among army men doesn't mean she can't have table manners.

"As I mentioned on the forum, you don't know half of it. I'm fine with heights if there's something more important to focus on.." She laughs. " Everyone will tell you that I'm never 'quiet' I just know when I should keep my mouth shut, there's a difference. I'm always glad to be alive, it's one more day the enemy didn't kill me."

	He nodded. "I can't imagine having lived the life you have." Another bite of food and an mmmmmm sound. "What are you planning to do here in this world?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hell are you kidding, I can't imagine the life I've had, and I'm the one experiencing it." She chews and swallows a few fries.

"I imagine that several days of hospital food, this stuff would seem gourmet."

She grins a little at his last comment. " Whatever force shoved me here, they put me back in the Army. So I'll be hunting down and arresting the bad guys and doing surveilance work like I used to do before I participated in the tournament. Only now..I have more of an advantage." She takes a fork in her hand, and suddenly it turns from plastic to metal. "that's just about all I can do without causing a big scene or destroying public property. But being married to a thousand plus year old sorcerer for almost a year and I've picked up a few things. Though frankly most of what I can do are pallor tricks compared to what Tsung's capable of, it does give me a slight advantage."

She starts back onto her burger.

	He chuckled, listening. "It tastes excellent!" he watched her power with a blink. "Wow! That's pretty good. In my view anyway. Sounds like the future is bright for you." He started eating too. "Whatever happens, I am glad to have met a new friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As someone who's lived off of army chow, hospital food and prison rations..I'd have to wholly agree." She shrugged. "It's not that bright actually, I'm justing playing with the cards I have and hope for the best. Just consider me an ally if you ever find yourself in a bind." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, thank you. And you do the same. I don't have much, but if I can help you, just holler." He grinned and nodded at her, then kept on eating, pondering ordering more food. It really did taste good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
