Sophia shifts in her bed, in a deep slumber while Daemon's optics glow a dim grey. While she slept, he shuffled through his video memory of tonight quietly to himself. She seemed to be in rare form tonight; he just had to go over the footage again. Even making it convenient to watch over, trimming the unimportant parts.

'Daemon drifts to the upper rock above the ledge, catching a glimpse of the other five guardians either jumping or gliding across. He swivels towards his guardian who has just made it up. She walks with him to the edge and looks down… "Why is it always the most conveniently placed pits that conspire against me." She whispers to no one in particular. Daemon floats beside her and speaks; "It's not that far, you could make this in at least a jump and a half." Sophia looks at him for a second. "How do I half jump and does the leap from the ledge count?"

"Doesn't matter, moral of the story; you can do it."

She inhales then releases a breath. Meanwhile, Daemon looks across the gap, everyone seems to be patiently waiting for her, either playing with light projections or dancing; not particularly paying attention. Though…the other hunter, Hyper…he's eyeing her intently. "Can you make it?" He shouts to her. Sophia shrugs her shoulders and inches closer to the edge. "Are you scared?" He chuckles.

She's making a face underneath her helmet.

"She can make it just fine, don't rush her!" Daemon retorts. "Why can't she say that herself?" Hyper jabs a finger in her direction. If he were closer, she would bite it off. "Does it matter?" Daemon sounds like an exasperated teenage girl for just a moment. Hyper only shrugs and sits down, continuing to watch. Sophia either doesn't notice or doesn't mind…he can't tell.'

Even in video form, this hunter was particularly annoying. Daemon skips ahead a bit…

'In the midst of action, Sophia guns down her knight and rushes to her partner who was having a harder time…no one other than Hyper unfortunately. A taken thrall leaps in the air, ready to sink it's claws into the panicking guardian when Sophia takes aim and shoots. It shrikes and it returns to wherever it came from in a swirl of black and stars. Making it just in time, his knight spawns and they get ready to shoot. Half of it's health is gone and Sophia dodges left in attempt to keep from bring hit but is pushed forward. She stumbles and falls forward, quickly rolling in new born panic and confusion only to see the very same guardian (she was attempting to help) snatch his leg back. He's laughing at her fumble; did he do that on purpose and all for a laugh? Daemon prepares to zip over to the howling guardian. Sophia grabs his shell and pulls him out of the way of the enraged knight who swats at the stray ghost.

'Jackass…'

"Sorry, my bad!" Hyper feigns sorrow in his voice after finishing off the knight. She only huffs in response and runs towards the middle after hearing Ranger call out Shuro's appearance.

Daemon only wishes he could've smacked him right upside his head. He moves again.

'Ranger casts Dawnblade, impaling the sword into the ground beneath them and the entire team begins shooting at the taken Awoken. The team is intently focused on Shuro, waiting for her to prepare her weapon and when the time comes; Daemon can hear Ranger shouting over the gun-fire;

"Get ready for doors, remember your number…!"

Sophia stops shooting for a moment and waits for them to open. When they do, she counts as quickly as she can. "1, 2, 3, 4…" She rushes into the fourth door, pressing her back to the wall. She sighs in relief before Hyper suddenly comes crashing into the same room. Without anytime to react; everything turns a blinding white.'

Daemon could already hear her uncensored rage at the guardian who seemed to have it out for her. For the long while they were there, Daemon couldn't figure out why he seemed to hell bent on messing her up even if the cost of it were their own lives. He did have to give it to the Hyper; he was very determined…too determined. He moves forward in the footage.

'Finally making it past Shuro; they take a short break between encounters. While checking on his Guardian, Daemon's attention is caught by Ranger making his way over. He seemed to have the same idea with checking on her. "Are you alright…I noticed that Hyper was messing with you a little?" Daemon's optics flicker a bit and he nods for her; "Yeah, just glad you stepped in when you did…I would've just hit him."

The warlock chuckles; "He was just causing trouble for the sake of trouble. If you don't want to talk thats your choice." He crosses his arms and looks at the group for a second before looking back. "I don't mean to be nosey but…why do you talk for her? I don't think I got the chance to ask." Daemon contemplates answering for a second before looking back at her. He's been the most understanding out of everyone she's met, why not tell him?

"It's not that she doesn't want to, she's just extremely…."

"Shy?" Ranger finishes his sentence when the ghost pauses.

Sophia nods reluctantly, was she that obvious? "Well that's pretty sweet that you help her by going through all the trouble."

"It's not trouble if it makes her comfortable."'

Daemon would chuckle if it wouldn't wake up his sleeping guardian…he only wishes he could've seen her face at the time. She probably had that tint of ruby red on her face whenever he made comments like that. He was pretty sure he derived some sort of sick pleasure from the thought but brushed it off only a moment later. He moves ahead in the recordings.

'Another break after a failed attempt at Shuro had Sophia sitting beside Batman, it was getting late…this must've been around the time everyone split off. Daemon casts a glance at the aloof hunter, assuming that he must be asleep with his lack of movement. Meanwhile, she finds that passing the time, tracing invisible shapes into the ground proving to be entertaining.

'So, what's with you?" His voice causes Sophia to freeze and Daemon to twitch. "It's just a question…you act like I'm about to punch you or something…" Sophia sighs and looks away while he tosses a rock that he was holding. "Mute heroic type?" He questions.

"N-no…" Sophia answers quietly. "It's just…crippling anxiety." She laughs dryly and it trails off into a long sigh. "Same…" He throws another rock, it passing the previous by a few feet.'

Sure, it was maybe only a few words but she was speaking at-least; that was what made this moment stand out the most. That and it had nearly been an entire hour since he heard a peep come from the mute guardian.

'Hey, do you have a clan?" The hunter asks abruptly.

Daemon quiets his thoughts and watches closely as he had probably done a few times already.

'Sophia sheepishly shakes her head, rolling a stray pebble between her fingers. "Are you trying to join one?" Daemon was sure he might've already known the answer to that.

"Uh…"

"Maybe you should think about joining ours;" He stands, brushing the dust off of his armor. "Maybe you'll break out of that whole…'crippling anxiety' thing." He chuckles dryly and returns to Ranger who was greeting another guardian. He must've found another person to replace Hyper after he left.'

Daemon was getting closer to the end of the night, drifting in orbit already.

Daemon made himself busy, dismantling the blue gear she received from enemie drops. They were all completely useless compared to what she had already. More material for Banshee-44. Meanwhile, everyone had long since left, it was only Ranger Batman and Sophia who of which was drifting off, her head slowly dipping back only to snap forward. Accompanied with it was the 'mhmm'-ing at the occasional agreeable statement.

"Sophia, I know he's probably already mentioned this but you should really think about joining."

"Mhm…"

"You seem like a decent guardian and there's a lot of stuff we plan on getting done that would be easier to do together than go on the LFG for…"

"Mmm.,."

"And we plan on having a party where we'll serve bleach smoothies." Batman interjects.

"Mmhhhmm…"

"Is she okay?" Ranger chuckles both confused and humored. Daemon glances at her body that is a lot more sprawled out than he remembered. Shes snoring away peacefully.

"She's actually asleep right now…" The ghost explains, chuckling.

"Oh, look at that, a part of the family already! Falling asleep on comms is definitely not unheard of." Ranger exclaims laughing then…coughing from laughing too hard.

"What is that supposed to mean, I've never fallen asleep on—" Batman hisses.

"You lying bitc-!" His coughing fit continues.

"I do not—"

"Lie again!"

They start bickering…Daemon is surprised that it doesn't wake her up. Maybe it was time to head back so she could sleep in a properly. "Why don't you send her a request to join and I'll have it for her tomorrow." He inquires over the arguing. The guardians don't even take a breath before the very request he asked for, pops up in her inbox. Daemon is surprised by their speed and stores it for later.

'One step at a time…'

Daemon's optic flickers momentarily and returns to a brighter luminosity. He shifts a bit and glances at the sleeping hunter. Finally, a chance to get rid of that lone wolf mentality of hers. As much as he loved her and tried his best to make her as comfortable as possible be it talking for her or making up a form of voiceless communication; he dearly wanted her to be more extroverted. Maybe even have a boyfriend and get out more than normal. Aside from doing cookie cutter vanguard crap.

Hopefully that would change soon…now, about this clan invite.
