Gareth appeared sullen and analyzed Sophia as she joined him. He read her terror instantaneously, but he found nothing on Jezin's face, seemingly stoic as ever in the face of this distress, even though Gareth knew Jezin was likely shaken up as well. "Why are you asking me? You look as though you've seen a ghost." said Harker slowly with concern. "I'm, honestly... anxious at the moment, but... I am a mere commoner." He dismissed any worry she might've had for him, for he was nothing more than your average Joe, and nothing could come out of his death besides bloodshed. He reserved his worry for Sophia, a princess of a foreign land called Lyok, whose murder could result in war and instability for both lands. The lack of a certain knight caused him distress, and he furrowed his brow. "Where's Thomas?" His eyes themselves trembled with anxiety.
