"Ah Samus. A name like... Uh... That's not important! Tell me Samus what is your favorite color?" He then turned towards Joel. "Ah! A problem! The main conflict of this story! Please tell us of it so that we may, how you say, Eliminate it"

Joel stared at the guy for a few seconds, then held up the piece of paper. In a shocking reveal that absolutely nobody could have seen coming, it was dramatically revealed to be a poster, upon which was a bounty. Said bounty, as was seen after a sufficient amount of build-up and tension, was of the one, the only... Sophia! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhMvKv4GX5U]
Samus didn't respond to the man, slipping her hand out of his grasp and focusing on Joel, glad for the subject change. "What is..." She went quiet upon seeing Sophia's picture on the bounty poster.
EMily and the others, who were too flabbergasted by the new appearance went ahead into the ship. But they soon got interrupted by Joel's announcement.
"I'm going to uhhh... check for traps and such. Wait huh?"
<color=purple>"Just as I suspected. I was going to announce my suspicions earlier but we got interrupted by Sam. Formerly known as Silence."

"Sure thing." Sophia nodded as she made sure she had a solid grasp of the figurine before setting it back on her lap. "Was there anything else you wanted from me? I appreciate you at least checking up on me." Sophia eventually asked after looking at the figurine for a short time herself.
[color=003399]"Yeah. I doubt we'll get bounty hunters coming after us, but Sophia should probably stay inside wherever we go."[/color] Joel said to Samus, before looking at Gwen. [color=003399]"You suspected Sophia had a bounty on her?"[/color]
"Haha! A brave hero such as me shall gladly protect any fair maiden! Any body who shall dare lay a hand on this... Average woman shall quickly have their hearts run through!" He said making a few jabs at the air with his rapier.
<color=purple>"Yeah, I mean... the knights wanted to catch her as soon as possible by making the public aware. So why not set up a bounty for the person you're trying to catch? Also it was the one thing I suspected would be on the poster that Caius had.
Samus looked at the man, not taking his declaration of protection very seriously but surprised that he seemed so passionate about it.
Code:
"Well, just one more thing."
Code:
"I just want to say that I trust you, alright? You're my friend, and that means that I'm gonna trust your words over whatever bullshit those bucket-heads spit out."Sophia nodded as Victoria asked for one more thing, although hadn't been expecting Victoria to make such an appeal. An air of concern crossed her face as she glanced at Victoria's arm and up to her face. Hearing Victoria's response however, Sophia looked both moved a relieved. "Victoria."Sophia replied, sounding almost a bit sappy. After a brief pause of contemplation, Sophia reached up and grabbed her arm lightly. "Thanks, that really means a lot to me. But... please be careful too." Sophia asked of her. Although Victoria could misinterpret this as a sign of Sophia calling her weak, it was evident in Sophia's face she was afraid of the knights, and didn't want others to get hurt because others put themselves before her.
Roland approached the others outside and listened to the conversation, though he saw no need to say anything, himself. He was unsurprised to hear that Silence was actually Sam, or that he was able to escape, but he took notice when Joel approached with Sophia's bounty poster. Even from a distance he was able to read the charges against her, and he immedietly began making his way to Sophia's room, trying not to draw attention to himself as he did so.
Roland entered the room shortly after, passing by Victoria as he walked straight to Sophia. "Sophia, Joel has found a bounty issued for you from the 'Order of Sanctity'" Roland said in his usual deadpan voice. "It also includes the crimes you are accused of." He continued after a slight pause, careful to not yet state what she was accused of.

Vicky looked down and sighed.
When Roland burst into the room, she quickly turned around to face him. She grunted, rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms after hearing what he said.

"Look, don't worry about me. They're after you, not me. You need to focus on looking after yourself."
