The moment Eggsy left the Kingsman estate with JB in Arthur's car, Sophie knew how things had ended. Swallowing the lump that was forming in her throat she made her way around the mansion.

Girl had heard about the dogs and the pistols and how stupidly sure and strong you need to be to actually pull that trigger.

Walking down the hall with her three suits, Sophie briefly passed Roxy.

"Congratulations, Lancelot." Sophie smiled at her and wanted to walk away when Roxy stopped her.

"Hey, Richards... I'm sorry that.. it didn't work out." Roxy said sympathetically.

"It's actually Sophie Elizabeth Richards, so call me Sophie, since you're an agent now." Sophie looked at her and then continued:

"It actually wouldn't have worked out in any possible way."

"I'm sorry to hear that.. Sophie." Roxy told.

"Don't apologize, Roxy. Everything ended before it even started." Sophie gave her a small smile.

"Eggsy just seemed to be so... into it. On several occasions he was telling me about you." Roxy shook her head.

"Yeah...He just took Arthur's car. Don't know how that will turn out." Sophie mumbled and looked down.

"Sounds like Eggsy." Roxy chuckled.

"Do you need help with that?" new agent soon continued.

"Don't you like have someplace to be?" Sophie asked.

"No, not really." Roxy answered.

"We should arrange measuring for your suit, Lancelot." Sophie smiled at her fondly and gave her one suit to carry.

"Can't wait, Sophie." Roxy smiled at her.

"I'm gonna dress you in best suits ever. It's not every day that I can make suits for female agents." Sophie said making her way to Shooting Range Three.

"Not every day that I visit tailor for a suit." Roxy chuckled.

"Not every day, tailor shoots at his own work." Sophie mumbled walking in her favorite room of the day.

"Welcome to my testing hall." Sophie said and spun around.

"Want to shoot at them?" Sophie chuckled and looked at Roxy.

"Are you serious?" Roxy asked.

"Yes, of course." Sophie said putting suits on a table.

While putting suits on mannequins Sophie said:

"You have no idea how badly I wanted to dress Charlie in one of these prototypes and just shoot at him."

"I can only imagine." Roxy chuckled.

"You know..." Roxy started.

"I should have never dragged Eggsy with me that night."

"It's not your fault, Roxy." Sophie tried not to think about it too much.

"I just didn't want him to start a fight with Charlie." Roxy shrugged.

"You did the right thing." Sophie tried to smile.

"Enough about boys. Let's shoot some suits." Sophie cleared her throat and pulled Roxy to her table of guns.

"This will become your favorite. I assure you." Sophie smiled at her showing the Soviet Tokarev TT-30, standard issued Kingsman pistol. Her favourite.
