"I know not."

She answered back. As she rolled up to the intersection she came to a stop both because she wanted to make sure no vehicles were crossing before she used the crosswalk and also because she was considering her next words with care. There was a tenuous balance as to how much to let on that she needed to strike. To yield a full understanding of how she operated meant that later on such knowledge would most likely be used against her. She had approached the subject however and thus needed to provide an answer of some satisfaction.

"Last I had seen her she was under attack from other magical girls. I could not remain, circumstances would not allow it."

With no cars in sight she started across the road, her wheels taking her across to the sidewalk parallel to the park.

"She was in the company of another one however. A magical girl who sported a lab coat and fought with an assembled companion that served as her archetype."

Sophia took a moment to contemplate before looking back up to Fuyuko.

"Since you reside in the area would you happen to know of her?"

An innocent question. Perhaps Fuyuko might suspect her of trying to interrogate her for information regarding the competition. Perhaps not.

She'd just have to see what came of it.
