[center][h1][color=FF1493]Sophia von Zeerover[/color][/h1][/center] [color=FF1493]"Course' yeh' heard me right! Ahm' offerin' teh' meal for yeh' and Amaryllis ere' and even those others! Ya' all are welcome teh' join in fer a meal, my treat! So don't worry, eh? Its a reward fer' helpin' kill this nasty bugger and is' lot!"[/color] Sophia responded, turning her head a little to get an eye on Hilaria, giving a proud smile back to the girl as she spoke in a jovial and friendly tone. Though as Mariette turned her offer down, Sophia quickly looked over with an initial slight shock...before her features softened some after hearing the Horror girl's words, [color=FF1493]"Eh?! Well...eh, truth enough ah' suppose. But make sure yeh' stay safe out err', an' if ya need ah' meal-"[/color] And the Horror girl and person with her were gone. Drat. Not like the pirate felt she could retort to Mariette's words anyhow, what with the reasons she seemed to state. But what was this 'Ascendancy' and all? Some new group that popped in while they were gone for Dutchman knows how long? So much was going on and it was dizzying enough as the small party of magical girls approached them. Taking note of Amaryllis' words, however, Sophia let her body and stance relax at least...to avoid showing any sort of hostility. Truth was in those words of hers, at least so the pirate felt. Better to not try to make enemies at least, though being accustomed to near-death and a hell of an adjustment to everything was not exactly a disarming situation. At least she wouldn't act unless she was threatened, which seemed to be the bloody case, though all it elicited from Sophia was a long and exasperated sigh. [color=FF1493]"Whadda' ya' Cardinal want with tha' knight-lookin' lass?"[/color] Sophia asked, using her boarding axe to lightly scratch her head in a rather genuine but mild confusion, looking at the Ascendancy girls directly, [color=FF1493]"And why yeh' so intent ahn' purifyin' an' all? An' why is livin' round' this world fer' so long like the armored lass is ah' strange thin'? Mah patron's ah' bloody ghost ship, forced teh' sail fer all eternity. Hell, this is all confusin' enough as it is..."[/color] This was all so very strange. But she'd follow Amaryllis' lead for now, at least, as she had said she'd do. Though if these girls tried to hijack someone here against their will, well she'd just fought alongside Hilaria and felt more trust in this new dark magical girl than in this new zealot-like group. Really, though, Amaryllis was the person she most trusted out of all of these in general. Not like the pirate even now had a big circle of friends anywho...
