"Well, it ain't much, but it's got a right fine view. 'll it be okay for you, ma'am?"

Sophie slowly examined the room. She then smiled and replied, "Yes, it's perfect. I must give you something in return for your wonderful hospitality. Name anything."

Indiana mused that this must be how quality acted all the time.
-smiles winningly-
"Ya know, if you asked me that bout a week ago, I woulda told you to go an hang that cattle rustler ALW high, but ah reckon I don't mind so much no more. I've already gotten loaned a right beautiful gun an' saved a woman from being taken. I don't think I was ever this useful in Texas."
Indiana wondered if she should have left out the part about the rape. Quality is often offended by this.
"Ramblin' again, sorry. I guess I'm tryin to say that I'm alright. After all, I jist walked you down a hall."

Sophie nodded slowly.
"Anytime you need anything, I'd be most happy to provide it for you."
Then more hesitatingly, she asked, "You do not need to answer but if I may inquire...?"

"That's right kind of you ma'am. What'd you need to know?"

((I couldn't really explain it, so... it might not make sense. ;D))
An awkward silence filled the room. Sophie felt heat creeping up her neck and onto her face.
"I know this may not sound rather lady-like, but..." Another pause. "If you don't mind, I'd like to hear about that-that woman you saved. What had she been doing to have been led into that situation?"
Sophie ignored the little voice in her head that told her she would regret this later. It was release from what everyone expected of a woman: etiquette and other useless things. The first step of freedom.

Indiana couldn't blame her, she'd ask the same question.
"Not sure, seems like her brother's a right bast - sorry ma'am - a right loon and she blames herself. I haven't gotten much out of her. D'ya wanna go see her? You'll have to be gentle like - I'm sure that won't be a problem for you - as it's all tra-mi-tizin."

Sophie was awfully curious about this. She wondered what a woman who had barely escaped such a situation would be like: crazy? senseless? there but not quite there?
"Yes, I would like to go see her."

"She's over in the infirmary. Now remember, this is right hard for her."
((Infirmary, the topic is 'Hiding Magenta'.))

Sophie fell into the room. Panting from lack of breath, she exclaimed, "Indiana! Indiana!" Upon finding that Indiana was not in the room, Sophie exited, her sides still heaving.
