Cassandra rolls her eyes and just moves on.
"Do you do anything else to keep fit? Running, swimming?"
"Well, it's something you might wanna take up if you're serious about being able to look after yourself," she says, a little more seriously now. "Even if it's just to make you better at running away from...whatever."
"...I wouldn't have any reason to think you'd be lying," she says, slowly. "Did the monster person use the gym for... monster... stuff?"
"Did you kill him too?"
Because he should have done, it sounds like.
"Uh huh. What d'you mean, kept? Like...a pet?"
"I'm going to level with you, 'straightforward' isn't the word I'd use to describe anything you've ever told me," Cass points out.
Cassandra just stares blankly at him for a while, then shakes her head.
"Yeah, you definitely need to work out more."
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna judge you for being easy to kidnap," Cassandra says. Judgementally. "I am gonna put together a training schedule."

No, really, there was. It was horrific.
