Wallace stood by and watched the unfolding conversation idly. He knew very little about the knight accompanying Sophia, his heraldry was unfamiliar and his name eluded him but such were the consequences of ignoring the Order for so long. They were supposed to have continued acting the subservient king-loving watchdogs they were so great at being, and without the king ever being threatened he would have been able to bypass them. Instead, they seemed to be coming out of the woodwork at any turn they felt appropriate. He would have been grimacing at the armored man, if the news of Sophia's intent to stay didn't tear a smile across the entirety of his face as he heard it. He bowed his head in appreciation and acknowledgement as Sophia looked around and briefly found his eyes. Though, he could not quite place her reasoning. An attempt to clear the Lyoki name shot to the forefront of his suspicions but in all honesty the accusations against them, what little there were, were poorly founded. Benevolence was what came next, but it was such a foreign idea that he could not, himself, accept it.
