When Sephia goes to pack up her things, she finds a few things missing, but the loss of one thing in particular hits her like a punch in the gut. Her data disc player is gone. She knows she should not get upset over the loss of a material possession, but she can't help but clench her jaw in anger. It was the one memento of Elphyra she had left.
She sighed, pushing the air out through her teeth as she let the sudden tension leave her body. Perhaps it was a sign, that she should let go of the past? But... damn, she enjoyed those tales, foolish though that might be.
Worse than that was that her gun belt was missing, with both pistols.
L.C. wrote:Afterwards he finds Sephia and he asks. "Have you found that hobgoblin about recently?"
"I have not, but I suspect his type of invisibility would be outside my own ability to detect if he did follow us." She tries not to show how uncomfortable that makes her feel, but suspects one of L.C.'s particular talents would sense it anyway.

But as they start to walk away with what is left of their gear one of them hesitates. The SAMAS pilot has a private conversation with the other two pilots and you hear some cursing before he turns and walks back. “If you were serious, I want to stay. I don't like a lot of my orders and I like what you guys are doing, and I don’t have any family for them to punish. Can I work with the Knights?
I can help that kid drive, or do whatever work is needed. I’m able bodied.” (You recall his name was Andrew Brison.)
In light of recent events and her own past dealings with the CS, Sephia's first instinct is caution. However, she can not refuse this man a chance to redeem himself; after all, if she, Erin and L.C. could choose the side of good over their former masters, who was she to say this one could not?
So she tries to offer a reassuring smile and nods,
"I believe we can find ways for you to help out, right Sir William? If you have any medical training, however basic, we can always use an extra hand in that regard.
After things wind down, Sephia leaves Sir William to his watch with Hardin and meditates to clear her mind before laying down to rest. After a few hours, she awakens and relieves Sir William to join McVey for the second watch.
