Sophia not being in the same room as Eric any more would only mean she heard the armour rattling as he jumped up and down. "With or without your armour? Because if it's with I would love to see you try when if finally clears up outside." Sophia said happily, but sincerely.
"The idea behind my choise was not to wholly conform to the styles of atirre seen here, so much as it is to compromise. I would not wish to completely discard my heritage." Yeul responded, shaking her head slightly.
"Indeed. To forget one's history, is to lose one's self." Caius chimed in.
Yeul glanced to Caius for a moment and gave an affirmative hmm, ten looked back to Sophia, smiling a little. "As for your own fashion sense, it does not differ over much from what I have seen, but perhaps a second opinion of one who is has a passing familiarity with this world would do me well."
Hearing Eric throw his tantrum, Caius looked over his shoulder to him with a scowl on his face. To have an outburst like that over something so trivial... Show some restraint.

"Oh, well that's fine if that's what you want. Like I said, I'm not into fashion, maybe you actually look like some famous person here." Sophia smiled.
"And ya, Caius is right too." Pausing for a moment before continuing to work on the sandwich. "If you forget what happened in the past..." She said as she looked back down to Yeul. "You might just repeat it."
Sophia paused again as she listened to Eric's response, still looking in Yeul's direction before finally getting back to the sandwich. "Of course they do." She mumbled to herself.

"This is true." Yeul responded, with a nod so small, it was barely noticeable. "Although there would be some who prefer that, to relive the past, over future uncertainty."
Caius had enough of standing so close to the rambling Eric, and moved away, joining Yeul and Sophia in the kitchen. Although he did agree to wearing one's armour with pride, that mutual understanding did nothing to improve Caius' opinion on Eric. In the kitchen, Caius leaned against a wall, besides the doorway.

Sophia let out a deep sigh as she went to check how Gwen was going with the soup. "Of course, how would I right?" She agreed with him.
"Honestly Yeul, I just try to take the days one step at a time, and try to learn from the mistakes I made yesterday so I don't make them tomorrow." She said as she looked her way again. "Because if you keep thinking about the past, when will you have time to think about the here and now, right?" Sophia asked, not trying to change Yeul's outlook on things, but to give her an other perspective to look at.

"I think you misunderstand." Yeul responded, shaking her head. "It is not I who only looks to the past. When I spoke of that, I reffered to a people in general. I pay homage to my heritage, and heed past mistakes. No more." She stated. After a pause, Yeul opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again and broke eye contact for a moment as she thought on the words on the tip of her tongue, deciding against speaking them.
"You would be hard pressed to find one who looks to tomorow more then I, in fact." She settled on saying, looking back to Sophia and speaking in a joking manner.

"Yeah. I'm a pretty great guy. I like saved my friends tons of times. I also took on this demon dude and it was like super easy to do. I also totally sacrificed my way home to save my friends... I also got ultimate power for like a day!" He said taking a seat on the bed that was situated right next to the kitchen.
"Alright, I did make a mistake there, sorry about that." Sophia said a little bashfully, smiling ever so slightly. "Is that because you said you a... seer, you can tell fortunes or something?" Sophia asked glancing at her, grabbing a knife to cut some of the meat up.
"Your family must be very proud of you then, Sir knight." Sophia replied back, having the slightest hint of sarcasm.

The days after your arrival at XCOM are more calm than you expected. The research team decided to look into your armour-vest for better body armour, and you yourself spend much time training in hand-to-hand fighting against the soldiers. The techniques you were taught by your mentor give you a good shot against the more experienced soldiers, and you soon establish yourself as an equal to the soldiers. The research team was kept busy by trying to replicate your armour-vest, no easy task.
You are also sent out once along with a squad of soldiers to the World Marshal Inc. Skyscraper. The mission was to collect samples of the cyborg technology, and the only resistance you meet are a few insane cyborg soldiers still living in the building. Their suicidal rushes severely injured several XCOM soldiers, but in the end they were defeated. Soon enough you are on your way back to base, with only vague news reports to show for your presence. As an unexpected benefit of this mission, XCOM gained a number HF-blades. These were quickly incorporated into the official arsenal and became popular among the troops for their cutting power and utility. After reviewing the mission report, it was decided to make blaster technology the next focus for the research team.

As the crew that were still standing walked out of the transport, one of them walked over to Shara. "Quite a fight that was. Glad we'll all be living to fight another day, eh?" the man said to her.
"Wow that's really impressive!" Sophia nodded, agreeing that such a thing would be interesting. "So, does it just..." Sophia paused as she looked for the right words. "Pop in out of nowhere, or do you have to do some ritual thing to see the future?" She asked, honestly curious on how such a power would work.
"Might not have a choice Sheila. We've got a dangerous job. I'm just glad I've got an excuse to stay away from the enemies. Scott Perry, Australian sniper." the man said as he held out his hand to Shara. The fact that he had a sniper rifle over his shoulder probably gave his expertise away.
"They appear without my having any control over it, yes." Yeul answered, momentarily moving away from Sophia and finding a place to sit down, looking back to her when she was seated. Yeul didn't seem to share Sophia's enthusiasm on the subject of her powers, her facial expression and tone of voice remaining neutral. "Whenever something happens that changes the timeline in some way previously unforseen, that is when I recieve a vision."
You shake the sniper's hand and introduce yourself as Shara. You wonder to yourself what a sniper was doing on a mission inside a skyscraper, but decide not to bring it up. You instead say that hopefully the research team will make it a bit less dangerous soon.
