"Alright, I guess I'll allow it, then," Karen says, half-teasing, her own smile still in place as her shoulders lift in a shrug. If he's going to worry, she'd much rather it be like this than overbearing and trying to control what she does or doesn't do. She's never had much patience for that, nor has she ever let it make that much difference. Her choices are her own, and if they're dangerous ones, well, it will neither be the first nor last time that's the case. The risk tends to be worth the outcome. There are things she regrets, sure, she won't pretend otherwise — it was her bright idea that got Ben killed, one more person's blood on her hands — but everything has a cost, getting to the truth especially. If that means putting herself at risk, it'll be worth it. "You don't have to worry now, at least. I'm back for the day. I'm guessing you are, too?"
