Alain was completely focused with listening in on Caius and Sophia that he did not notice Silence approaching.

Finding that Alain didn't notice their approach, "Silence" wondered why Alain was so rapt with listening in on the conversation Caius had with Sophia, wondering in they missed anything during the time they went to get their notepad.
Listening in on the conversation as well, "Silence" found nothing of real interest was being said just yet, making them think if what was interest would be something that Caius and Sophia did, rather then said. With this in mind, "Silence" leaned closer to the door opening, and to the side.
Unfortunately for Alain, this placed "Silence's" face plate close to his face.

Watching Yeul leave, Sophia continued to look a bit hurt. Even if Yeul seemed to show some empathy, it still didn't shake the fact she was staying away from Sophia because she thought she was diseased or something. Seeing that it only the men around otherwise only seemed to confirm her thoughts. "Alright... What do you want me to talk about first..?" Sophia eventually asked.
"This... 'odour', you seem to emit. Let us start with this." Caius began, looking down to Sophia. He saw how Sophia looked sad, but didn't think much on this. "I cannot smell it, yet Yeul and Victoria can. Possibly others, also. It was said that this is dangerous. So then, I ask - is it?"
Proditus watched as Samus and Shara held their brief conversation, but when they failed to reveal anything of any interest he shook his head in irritation and decided to go back into the ship. Stooping into the small corridors, he decided to try and explore the interior a little more, to see if he could find a chamber large enough that he could stand without hunching. As he boarded, he withdrew his hefty skull headed mace from its sheath. Now that he was not using it in combat, he held it more loosely, but with a certain kind of reverence, more like a sceptre than a weapon.
Alain noticed something moving in his peripheral vision and turned his head to the side, only to see Silence's faceplate just a few inches from his own face. He let out a startled shout and jumped back in surprise, tripping on his own feet as he did so, which led him to fall into the doorway to Sophia's room and hit his forehead on the metal doorframe. He then fell to the ground just inside the doorway, both hands on his head not only due to the pain, but also to hide his face due to the embarrassment of what just happened.
Sophia winced a little, Caius wasn't pulling any punches. "I... would be lying if I said it was harmless, b-but it won't hurt people just to smell a bit of it, honest!" She protested, still sounding groggy bit already feeling a bit intimidated by Caius looming over her as he was. "[small]It's only gets bad if women smell if for too long or I use too much magic on them in a short time...[/small] But I've been really careful not to let that happen!" She tried to explain.
When Alain fell into the room, it was enough to make Sophia jump to her feet and nearly off the far side of the bed, her tail getting quite fluffy as she quivered with fright, not expecting to be startled so badly.

The sisters walked back inside the ship.
<color=green>"Maybe Sophia's awake by now? We should go see what's going on." The tiniest one said. The others nodded in agreement and quietly walked as best as they could down the metal hallway.
The sisters were able to catch the latter half of Sophia's dialogue when they got close to her room.

Samus followed Shara into the ship, noticing her sudden boutnof fatigue. After making sure she was OK, Samus continued into the ship, closing in on Sophia's room. She noticed the Masons outside, and gave a small wave.
"Yes. It was good to just sleep in and relax." Samus said. She was quiet for a second. "Before you go in there... Can I talk privately for a second?" She was unusually quiet, even a bit nervous.
Samus led Emily away from the room a little bit, just enough so it's occupants couldn't hear. "Yesterday, when I was taking Sophia in after she fainted, I noticed a few things. First off, her dagger... It seems to be alive. It spoke when I inspected it."
"I had taken it out of it's sheath to inspect it, and it kept saying Sophia's name, just barely. I could understand it though, it wanted me to put it back. It seemed to have some mental manipulation abilities as well. When it spoke felt nervous, and it lingered for a while even after I had sheathed it and put it back."
"There might be. It was strange though, my scans did not pick up anything out of the ordinary." Samus mused. "I also scanned Sophia to see if she was alright. She's fine, but that chocolate smell... She produces it, though I'm not sure how, and despite the smell it is not chocolate. Also, flammable. I learned that from experience." She rubbed her face a little, and if one looked closely a very faint burn was visible.
Sometime last week, sometime in the morning or something
A few days after bringing Victoria back to the ship, Roland entered the laundry room where Vicky was likely sleeping, knocking on the wall as he entered to wake her up, or just to get her attention if she was already awake.
