Gareth knew things were going awry yet again, and his eyes seemed to reflect an ongoing storm. He wanted so desperately to send Sophia away, to tell her that she could forge an alliance some other time; however, she was obstinate like a mule. Harker couldn't make her, no matter how dangerous it would be for everyone if she stayed. He sighed, his face unresolved and worried. "I... I... Alright..." Defeated, he recanted. On the other hand, it was apparent to him then that Wallace dismissed his claim. Although he had this initial impression, he gave it some deeper thought and found a deeper layer to Wallace's words and expression, implying acknowledgement. Gareth nodded back with an air of intuition about himself. From what he saw in the hall, it seemed Wallace and Thomas had some sort of transparent feud or tension, and the young man would have to keep a close eye on them as things unfolded. Perhaps he could attain information from Sophia about the interrogation, for they were close enough by then, and she could also help him keep surveillance on Jezin and Sir Tyler... He mulled this over while he was unable to sway the princess to flee the country and remained silent, waiting for another topic of conversation.
