SOF instinctively moved in front of Eggy to block the view of the Soldiers "Back off of her!" He summoned his most intimidating voice, a little yell he picked up in marine corp boot camp. He had hoped that was enough to have them disperse. To his dismay however they just started staring at him confusedly.<br/><br/>'Whatever' SOF thought 'As long as its me and not her.' He grit his teeth "Although I didn't understand everything she said, I know she has been through a lot and just thinking about it makes me respect her strength. And none of you even respected her as a human being. For what? Was this entertaining for you? You're all sick." SOF suddenly felt ashamed at his outburst, but he quickly swallowed it and turned back to Eggy.<br/><br/>"Sounds like you guys have had it hard, it also sounds like you've been doing some very important work, and for that you have my gratitude... Oh and its very nice to meet you both, my name is Archer. I wish I had been here sooner if only to alleviate the burden somewhat." He laughed nervously and smiled at her "I look forward to working with you."<br/><br/>SOF thought about how Eggy said that her character may be controlling her somewhat. Maybe that's why he was so headstrong and prone to outbursts Archer is kind of a cynical prick in FSN. SOF sighed, knowing that he'd have a long road ahead of him. A comforting hand patted his back and Sinon's pleasant voice rang near his ear, "So... I'm sorry for slapping you... And uh what you just did was pretty cool... Don't let it go to your head!" She added at the end as if to try and invalidate her own compliment. SOF smiled and shrugged "Got it, no more arrogance for me, but thanks for the compliment regardless." Or maybe It wouldn't be such a long road after all, neither he nor anyone else was alone.
