In light of everything that had transpired over the past moments, Sophie was willing to give AVA the benefit of the doubt on that. Were the situations swapped and Sophie was the one with a firearm she likely wouldn't have been able to identify where she took it from; she herself didn't carry such things despite understanding why self defense was so often a necessity. Considering she had someone like AVA with her most times, Sophie's need for self defense was considerably lessened. Of course, Sophie would have preferred if AVA never have to resort to even threats but the world rarely worked how one wanted it to.

"Regardless, I don't want you carrying something like that. If you're seen holding a weapon, it won't be pretty for either of us." Sophie was going to have to carry that burden, the weight of the responsibility showing through in her slightly shaken tone of voice. While she wasn't quite as skilled at remaining calm like AVA, it was brave of the doctor to at least put on a face to suggest that she wasn't phased by the events even if her body language betrayed that bravado. 

"Thank you, AVA." Her still soft spoken words of thanks as AVA sheltered Sophie, even if only slightly, with an additional layer. It wasn't going to keep the rain from her eyes, but if nothing else it would keep her warm enough to continue onwards. "I promise you, I'm going to fix this, AVA. I don't know how...but I will. Trust me." Already Sophie was thinking of possibilities as to who or why things had to happen this way - even if her concern should have been where to go next...her head was spinning and not just because she was continually shaking her head in constant disbelief. "First, let me hold onto that..." Sophie gestured to the weapon and extended her palm.
