After that scolding talk with Merlin and occasional side note from agent Galahad, Sophie had a few more rules that she couldn't bend at her own will.
"You were told not to interact with them." Merlin had said while she was sitting down in dining hall.
"I know, sir." Sophie mumbled.
"Since this is your first warning, consequences will be low." Merlin said looking at his data pad. Sophie looked up at him waiting for her punishment.
"You can stay and live in mansion until the training is over. But you and all the candidates for that matter have curfew." Merlin explained.
"Curfew? Like a sixteen year old child?" Sophie asked.
"No. A curfew like a twenty year old." Galahad corrected her.
"Thanks for explaining, Galahad." Sophie rolled her eyes.
"It's simple and it shouldn't give you any trouble. After 23:30 no walking around the ground levels till 6 in the morning." Merlin said.
"And what if I need to work later?" Sophie asked.
"Simple. You came to me for clearance." Merlin explained. Sophie nodded and got up to leave.
"And Sector B is off limits for you, young lady." Harry added.
"Trainees' quarters? You think I'll go there and pick a fight with that Charlie guy?" Sophie snorted.
"You tend to be unpredictable, Miss Richards." Harry said.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. I won't touch him." Sophie said turning to look at both men.
"Before you leave, just explain what you were doing in the quarters at five in the morning." Merlin wanted to know and sat down.
"Nothing." Sophie answered nonchalantly.
"Well, I have different information on that." Merlin pointed at his data pad.
"What did they tell you?" Sophie carefully asked. She was pretty sure that Merlin already knew, what she was doing there.
"Richards. Answer the question. You are stalling our work right now." Harry asked.
"Just say what did they tell you and I will say if it's true or not." Sophie said leaning against one of the chairs.
"You were there to wake them up, that's what you told them." Merlin answered.
"Yeah. That's it." Sophie turned around to leave.
"There was more to it." Merlin stated.
"Probably." Sophie grinned and walked to the door.
"Elizabeth." Harry called her by her second name, her mother's name. There were few people that called her like that: her dad after her mother's death, her mother when she was in trouble and Harry Hart.
Sophie stopped in the doors but didn't turn around.
"If he's out, you more likely will never see him again and if he gets the position, you know – no attachments." Harry reminded.
And the fact that Sophie knew whom Harry was speaking about made her heart freeze painfully in her chest.
"Stop this dancing before anyone of you gets hurt." He pointed out.
And Sophie wanted to curse every single one of the gods that were above her, for knowing how right he was and how scared she was for herself.
She knew awfully well how destructing and hurtful it is to lose someone you keep close to your heart.
