She hadn't wanted to, but Sherry had been marched along by her mother to the Medbay to properly apologize to Komali. It wasn't that she felt entirely guiltless about it (she did force him off the ledge. Twice.). The little girl stopped short of the bed and the new Chief of Security.
Just a broken leg, then? Well, that was okay. Still, she made herself look as dutifully sullen as she could. She really was sorry. Really.
"Sherry," there was no murderous rage in her voice. That was a good thing!
Samus didn't fully blame Sherry (and after that shouting match, she suspected Komali was less innocent than he tried to be). She would've been fine without an apology from her, but she suspected this was part of her punishment, so she will listen.
Claire was on Sherry's heels, but for the most part was just there to make sure Sherry actually apologized and didn't flake out or run off. Which she was won't to do, despite her best intentions, at times.
She settled her hands on her daughter's shoulders, glancing over at Samus.
"Sherry's got a few things she needs to get off her chest."
There was a quietly defiant quirk of her lips before she worked it out and took a breath. "I'm sorry," that your son has no balance, "Komali was hurt. We didn't think too much into it, and if we had, he wouldn't be here." Also he needs to learn to fall. Mental comments aside (and thankful no one immediate to her could read minds), Sherry did look very apologetic.
Once Sherry was finished, she nodded. "Your apology is accepted, and I am sure Komali would say the same thing if he were awake." And if he didn't, Samus would make him anyway. "Besides, if he really wanted to learn how to fly, he should have come to me first, so we could go about this the proper way."
Not that she didn't appreciate that you took an interest in her son's well-being, Sherry, she just knew some of the blame landed on Komali as well.
