"That was all. I was tempted to look in her bag, but I felt that would be an invasion of privacy." Samus told Emily.

"You know well enough why I'm here. It is obvious to everyone that something is troubling you, Victoria, so tell me. I did not bring you back from the streets just so you could sulk about here."

"I may not have known you long, but I've seen enough to know that is not true. In battle, you fight with courage and ferocity that rivals those of the Gunslingers, and when there was a break in the fighting you would always be thinking ahead, already anticipating the next strike while everyone else decided to rest." Roland said, then paused for a moment. "But now you are as you say. Useless, but only because you let your own problems consume you. Do you not trust us?"
Code:
"What? No. I trust you guys. ...Well, most of you anyway."
Code:
"And that was before I came to my senses. I'm not sure if I've got any fight left in me any more."Previously
"That is the opposite of 'coming to your senses'. You say you trust me, so while we have no true Dinh, I will act as one for the moment. You may ask Dan-Dinh from me. You may tell me your troubles and I will help without passing judgement on you, lest I forget the face of my father."
Code:
"I dunno what Dinh is, but whatever."
Code:
"But if you really want to hear it, fine."
Code:
"It's just, between getting injured so much, realizing that little green girl was right, and not having done anything for a while ago... I just don't really think there's a lot of use for a worn out old war-machine like me any more."Previously
"Violence does not need to be the first option, but there will always be a need for it. Whether your goal is to protect those who need help or to pursue your own quest, there will be fights that you cannot avoid. Surely you have learned this by now."

"Even the greatest warriors will tire of battle, but when you find a reason to fight, I know you will not hold back. The real question is: do you know what you fight for? Do you have a goal?"
Code:
"No. That's the thing, I don't any more. Used to be that I was protecting my people. But that time's long passed. I thought coming here might have been a blessing or something. 'I finally get to be useful again!'."Previously
"You must find a reason for what you do, but that will not come easily. For now, you could do the same as you have done before. 'Protecting your people'."
"I see." Caius replied as Sophia explained herself. "Then, what would be the first s--" He began to continue, but cut himself off when Alain hit his head on the doorframe, and subsequently hit the ground. Instinctively, Caius turned around and reached for the hilt of his sword.
When he found it was Alain, and not a threat, he lowered his arm again. "What are you doing?" he asked, dryly.
Seeing Alain have the reaction he did, "Silence" stood unmoving as they stared at the fallen Alain, after which they threw back their head and lightly shook their shoulders, in what seemed like mute laughter.

Alain slowly looked up at Caius. "[sub]Uh, nothing. I was just... uh.... then I fell?[/sub]" He said meekly, almost at a whisper.
"I heard no footsteps aproaching, which means you were there for a time." Caius stated, narrowing his eyes as he looked down on Alain. "And with how you act now, I can only assume you were listening in on us." He stared at Alain for a moment longer, then turned back to look to Sophia.
"As I was saying; What be the first symptons that would show if someone has been exposed to your... scent for too long?"
Having had their fun at Alain's expense, and hearing Caius continue to question Sophia, "Silence" went back to eavesdropping on them. They wondered for a moment if they should move on, thinking Alain would probably point out they were eavesdropping, too, but decided not to bother.

"Is there a reason you asked?" Yeul asked Joel as she entered the kitchen.

Sophia continued to look at Alain until she was again addressed by Caius. "OH! Um.... well..." Sophia mumbled as she sat down on the bed, clasping her fingers a little. "Really the only symptom that I know of is a building migraine." Sophia answered a bit timidly, knowing full well that wasn't a very good answer but it was the truth. "It normally takes a long time to get there though! [small]So far only Victoria has gotten to that stage... and that was after I had to heal her wounds a couple of times in less than an hour....[/small]" She peeped at the end.
"That is the symptom covered, but then what is the final stage?" Caius asked. "Something that induces migraine would not warrent a band of warriors to follow you here, and demand your extradition and death. What is it that has them up in arms?"
