Rating: If it gets higher than PG I will be shocked, language aside.
Sophia had been here a month now, though with the number of things that had happened before arriving and since made it feel like it had hardly been that long. She had tried to keep to herself and mind her own business, but there comes a point when she couldn’t just ignore the other person of the household, or the more frequent visitors. Not only was it rude, but these people have been absolutely respectful and it was time she gave them that respect in turn.

Yet even though she's gathered all this resolve—because she was determined to go through with this, had to—she still faltered momentarily when it came time to knock on Fayt's door. Because these were people who meant a lot to Fayt, and who knew just how much they'd experienced together? But if she never asked or stepped forward, she would never know. Not to mention she had the sneaking suspicion that they'd been waiting for her to do just that...

With a sigh she pushed aside that bundle of nervousness and knocked, perhaps a bit more timidly than she had meant to. It might be better to have his help and advice with this.

"Fayt, can I talk to you?"

That sneaking suspicion of Sophia's was correct, though Fayt hadn't said as much out loud. With how far in the past she was compared to him or even Cliff, he knew he had to give her space to adjust, and had set out to do just that, giving her details as she asked for them. While it hadn't been possible back in their universe with everything going on, in Luceti at least he could give her an honest chance at something resembling normalcy as she got used to it all instead of a crash course on everything that had happened. It wasn't an attempt at keeping her in the dark, not at all.... but he wouldn't deny he was trying to help her in ways he didn't have a chance to back home.

When the knock comes, he was actually cleaning his sword. He hadn't used the Veinslay in a while, after having started to use a practice blade in the dome to avoid... accidents, but keeping it in working order was still important. He sets the blade down on his bed, hopping up and walking over to open the door.

"Hey. Of course you can. Did you need help with something?"
