Sophia shook more violently, glaring at the man. "I am not an object to be demanded! Answer my questions you bastard!" Sophia's voice was different, there was an almost feral tone to it, like a caged animal. She had no idea where this certain bravery, or perhaps stupidity, was coming from. She couldn't control what was coming out of her mouth. Finding out Jezin was gone had pushed her over the line. She stared into the man's indifferent eyes, her fists clenched at her sides. "You killed Walden, you killed Jezin. And now you have the audacity to show up again, to take me who knows where." She took a deep breath. "Answer. Answer me!"

 Eva took a step forward, placing herself beside Gareth. Even in a two-on-one, she didn't think the two of them could take the man that now stood before them. He'd taken Jezin down, with only a few injuries to show for it. Their options were minimal at best. 'Why aren't you here already...' It was hopeless, no salvation would come from outside. It was just the four of them in this garden, what happened next would only be resolved by the parties present. She took another step forward with extreme caution, trying to get closer to Sophia without enraging the stranger. The Lyoki princess' mental break was dangerous.
