Lafiel sat cradled protectively by Sophia ever since she had passed out talking to Dagen.
Sophia regarded Silsbury with the firm gaze of authority that she would look upon a crew member that was doing something inapropriate or downright stupid yet her voice remained warm, "Why hello there Commander Silsbury it is good to see you. Alas you are being rather inappropriate some might say impolite allow me to instruct you on polite manners and appropriate address. Let us start with my sister you will address her as Lady Tarrant, Countess or by her appointed position within the foreign office Bretonian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Federal Republic of Rheinland. Now if you are in a formal situation you may address her as Lafiel Tarrant Countess of Araluen, Heiress to the Duchy of Arundel of Cambridge. Though for this situation you can just use Lady Tarrant or Countess, as you are out in public. Now Addressing me is much more simple you may call me Captain Tarrant. You never know you could even of called us by our first names as an address if you were a friend of ours I mean I don't mind being called Sophia by my friends alas you are not nor have you shown any inclination to be friendly so Captain will do." Turning to gesture at Oliver Sophia continued, "This here gentleman is not called manservant he has a name and it is Oliver Draske. Now skipping over your education in manners you had something to say?"
Sophia listened seriously her eyes not wavering in their intense stare just as the unconcious girl that she cradled stirred back to the realm of the concious. "Indeed we will be happy to give statements Commander though you will excuse Lafiel till she is alert and concious again she collapsed and fainted I am not sure if it was due to something Christopher Dangen used on her or not." said Sophia matter of factly as she gestured at the unconcious girl she cradled before taking a sip of her tea.
Sophia was the first to speak her ton had become emotionless and serious there was only the proffesional efficient cold captain exterior displayed, "Now Sergeant Wentworth you may begin writing my statement." Sophia commanded as she spoke her statement, "My name is Sophia Tarrant I am Daughter of the Marquis of Arundel Sebastian Tarrant and Captain of her majesties destroyer the Araluen. The events that transpired here from upon my arrival are as such for some reason the Bretonian Police has allowed a terrorist to enter this establishment Christopher Dagen is an Order Commodore whom reports about him have indicated that he attacked members of the armed forces and our civilian army on the way through to omega 49 whilst commanding a cruiser. My sister appears to feel hurt and betrayed from the incident regarding dagen for attacking the Bretonian people whom she loves dearly she would of felt this way most likely as it was dagen who saved her from a group of Phantoms in the New London system. Dagen appeared to force himself upon my sister though truely it was more of an unwanted hug even though she appeared to be pushing him off of her with all her strengh alas she would never of managed it she has a medical condition that she had from a baby her weight is greatly reduced to about a quarter of your average human being and her body is not as strong though truely that is none of your business. Observing Dagen release Lafiel she swayed as if disorientated before I caught her as she fainted which leads one to believe that Dagen has done something to her that I did not observe and causes me great concern. Oliver Draske is not a gun swinging manservant as to which silsbury claims he is in fact MI5 agent assigned to the protection of Lafiel. He drew his firearm ready to protect his charge. Though it should be noted both Officers Silsbury and Calvert were present and failed to act in the arrest or aprehension of the terrorist agent Dagen. This concludes my statement Miss Wentworth."
Sophia turned to attend her sister who was waking up groggy eyed as Oliver spoke his tone was much harsher and sharp he was not pleased about such trivial games, "Well Miss Wentworth Listen well and note my every word any mistake or falsified data will result in the apropriate measures to be taken against corruption. The name you shall know me as is Oliver Draske my birth name is classified I am an operative for the MI5. I have been charged with the protection of Lady Tarrant any further details regarding my presence and assignment to you are classified as are my reasoning and response measures during my presence in this establishment. My statement shall consist of my basic observations as it is all you need to know. I entered the tea shop with Lady Tarrant we had tea as she was quite enjoying herself as the eighteen year old girl she is something that is rarely permitted to a girl of her status she ordered more items of food and tea. I observed in this time the entrance of Ex order commodore Christopher Dagen a medium - high threat and a mentally unstable target, he is classed as an enemy of the crown. Upon Lafiel seeing the target she attempted to bring him to book for what ill he did Bretonia though she clearly voiced
to all present what he was it is not sure why she did this maybe to see if you officers would do your duty and take him in." Oliver continued recounting the events from a civilian point of view neglecting facts though making sure to stab in an hammer home the incompetancies of the BPA and giving them educational advice on what they should have done.
Sophia helped Lafiel off her lap onto her chair though groggy eyed she assisted in attempting to get some tea into her. It was clear that Lafiel was shivering to which Sophia had responded by wrapping her in Her coat while she took out a medical scanner from her pocket an running it over Lafiel. Sophia sighed, "Only you would go out on a day when you were ill you silly girl." Sophia turned to Sergeant Wentworth an spoke, "As far as I can tell she only has a severe case of influenza albeit there may be something I am not seeing as I am a Captain with medical training not a Doctor pretending to be a captain. Now I do believe you will get that statement from my sister when she is better she is in no way to give one at the moment and any information she gives might not be accurate or credible as she is under the influence of influenza and fever."
Sophia got up ignoring the present people headed to the counter handing over a fair amount of money with a generous tip she commanded her words iron an unyielding, "I require one pot of English breakfast and 1000 mg of Paracetomol one glass of water and a clean tea cup." Christy noded as she scurried to aquire these things Sophia didn't wait for her she went to the coat wrack and aquired her fathers jacket brought it over to Lafiel she swapped the coat for her own helping Lafiel to stand and put the coat on her lip visibly quivering.
Oliver had finished talking to the sergeant after dismissing her his voice had seem to lose the ice at the end of their conversation. He turned to Lafiel his voice was harsh, "You young miss are in trouble you lied to me! Your still sick."
