[color=8eafdf][i]’A man that can separate the intention of a collective from that of the individual, no that such a trait is what helps make Silas such a talented leader’[/i][/color] Sonya concluded to herself as Silas offered his answer to her question. In contrast to her question of intent, Odessa’s question was more focused, providing insight into the daily routine they could expect. Most notable of Silas’s answer to her question was the extra details he provided in regards to his reasoning, helping Sonya solidify her mental image of his thoughts. Though she still had some questions, she held her tongue [color=8eafdf][i]’There will be a more appropriate time for further questions later, and for now I have the answers I need. From what I have seen so far, his intentions match his actions and I can...trust him[/i][/color] Sonya concluded to herself, satisfied with the information provided to make the decision required.

She listened to Aimée and Jehan as they took the floor as well, though there was a good deal of sense in Jehan’s question given the individuals Silas and even Dixon did not strike her as the sinister kind out for their own ends (Despite Dixon’s best attempts to convince the group otherwise). Still as she looked over the contract, she glanced up and caught Odessa’s gaze, Sonya taking a moment of reassurance as Odessa signed the contract before she did so herself. [color=8eafdf][i]’If we both reached the same decision then it can’t possible be a bad one[/i][/color]. No sooner had the ink dried on the paper though was the group rushed back into a flurry of activity - there was still much to do as Dixon pointed out.


Over the next few days, time seemed to fly as events happened rapidly - perhaps as fatigue from the previous day continued to take its toll on her. As an individual who had not used their abilities for combat, the experience had been surprisingly draining. Part of Sonya had looked forward to the opportunity to spend more time with Odessa given they would both be in the Blood Rose Irregulars yet it seemed Silas had noticed a potential in her, perhaps the same that Sonya had seen, and had brought her under his wing as her Lieutenant. Though she was happy for Odessa given the situation and what she knew of her goals based on their talks so far, a part of her was pained at the absence, starting to have developed a dependence on the other woman after their first battle together. Though the group was filled with a number of extraordinary individuals, Sonya had found the last few days too busy to really find the time to mingle with them before they were thrusted into another mission

Arriving at the entrance to the cave Sonya listened carefully to SIlas’s warning. Despite how well the battle on the field had gone he was correct [color=8eafdf][i]’An entire army would simply overwhelm us no matter what tactics we employ, there isn’t even a point in thinking of any magics to slow them down if such a situation occurred’[/i][/color] she thought grimly. Retrieving her dagger she breathed in deeply, most of her usual combat spells would be too noisy for such an encounter but there was one she had that was silent though she was loathed to use it. Glancing at Aimée as she made a playful comment Sonya replied softly so as not to get scolded by Jehan [color=8eafdf][b]“Well, there is a difference between being seen and being spotted. Kind of like an interpretive dance where the spectators have trouble making out all the dances, even if an Orc see’s you they might not realize what they’re looking at”[/b][/color]. Despite how perilous the situation was with both Silas and Odessa leading, Sonya believed they had the skills to do this
