<div class="floatleft">(http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad272/Montalve/Sophie_zpskv3cy56b.jpg)</div><strong>Sophie (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=254141.msg12561864#msg12561864)</strong><br/><strong>Tagging: Marie, Lauriel, Kairen, Aleena</strong><br/><br/>Sophie closed her arms as Aleena joined the group, her eyes appraising the storm sorceress while deciding if she would be a rival or not to her own spotlight, but as Kairen invited Aleena to present herself she waited to hear about the girl, even when her attention was in the imposing warrior... her attention was on the group at least until she heard the strained voice asking for her. She recognized the voice, how could she not, she knew it almost as well as her own. She should have jumped from happiness but the truth is that she become quite tense... recognizing the reactions as the moment between choosing to run or fight. She bit her lip and pushed the idea away.<br/><br/>Instea she instead took a moment to breath and calm herself and chose her demeanor, she loved her sister, but good Maria was always the dutiful girl, following on her father's footsteps, she was the pride while Sophie was the revel, choosing her natural magic over the duties of the family... well she had already signed the contract so legally her sister could do nothing to get her away.<br/><br/>"Maria!"<br/><br/>Smiling sweetly as if she just had noticed Maria, Sophie turned around and jumped on her sister, arms stretched and hugging her, knowing full well that would break any defenses or anger her sister might have toward her... at least she hoped so!<br/><br/>Hoping she embarrasses Maria a little bit she jump from the hug and turn to the group, "girls, this is Maria, my o so righteous sister."
