  Using Caolan as a crutch to leave the lab, gave me a bad appearance. Especially with me now being a Colourless Guard, some of the Yellow Steves that roam amongst the Forest Steves, they likely know what the Colourless Guards are.

It's quite embarrassing, showing this much weakness.

Caolan places a comforting hand on my shoulder, I keep my head held high. Show no weakness, let them see that even if I'm injured I will not stand down.

I will not fail again, my eyes land on a new Yellow Steve, raising an eyebrow at him.

"He's new, he appeared outside the gate, begging to live here." Caolan says, looking sadly at the Yellow Steve, "He seemed to be running from something. It was either those things that you encountered or something else."

No, he was running from the guard. I recognize that Steve.

"Caolan, I will introduce myself to this new Steve. Show him around, and give him the rules." I lift my head up more, the Yellow Steve had wandered off.

"Oh, are you sure sapling? You are still injured, I can do the introduction today." Caolan offers.

"No, no, don't worry about it Caolan, I want to do it." I look over at him, giving him a slight smile.

"Alright if you are sure, but if you are in any pain, head to the infirmary immediately." Caolan narrows his eyes.

"I will." I give him a nod before heading towards the direction the Yellow Steve went, "I promise."

Slamming my sword into the wall near the Yellow Steve's head. The Yellow was shaking, looking up at the blade.

"What are you doing here?" Lifting my head, making me seem even more above him.

"I- I don't understand what you are talking about about sir..." His voice shakes with nervousness.

  "No, I think you do." I look down at him and his eyes snapped up to me, staring up at me in fear.

"Solaris...." Fear drips from his tone.

"So you do know me, good. Now tell me what you want." I remove the sword from the wall and press it close to his throat.

"I- I heard the Non-Steve was here... Is- is he your target?" He questions, pressing further against the wall.

"That is not of your concern. You are a danger to my people, you must be eradicated." I press the sword closer to his throat.

"Wait, Wait!" He cries out, pressing himself even closer to the wall, attempting to get the sword away from his throat, "I don't want to hurt anyone, please Solaris!"

"Then why are you here, how can I trust that you won't harm my people?" I question the trembling man, "Explain yourself, quickly."

"Well, I have a kid here, my partner is here too! I'm not the biggest fan of the Corrected Sun even with being apart of it, I was more just there because my friends were, I've realized that wasn't much of a good idea after they started targeting more than just the Blues and Indigos, I'm not a fan of them but I wasn't going to go and kill people." He explains, or tries still panicked about my sword.

Moving my sword so that it was no longer pressed close to his throat. He lets out a gasp and places a hand to his throat.

"Just please don't tell Sol, I don't want to put targets on my family." He begs.
