Sonja had the urge to laugh at the newcomer but fought it back, knowing what Orphe would do to her if she even dared laugh at him. If she got out of this alive, she'd be able to have a good chuckle out of it later. It seemed like he was trying too hard. Granted the man was terrifying to even be in the same room with, but at the moment he wasn't even intimidating. But Sonja knew that could change in a heartbeat.
Looking back at Shaw, she stared him down defiantly, not wanting him to know (although she was sure he already did) how terrified she was right now. Sifted in her seat, Sonja adjusted her skirt, now wishing she'd worn something a little less...revealing. "Well, let's just this over with then," Sonja struggled finally.

Aros watched on with a uninterested look upon his face as they, though it was a simple matter Shaw stating the things and Sonja more or less simply agreeing, discussed the terms which would bind them with an Unbreakable Vow.
Now, to say that Aros was well versed in the act of performing Unbreakable Vows would be fibbing. Actually, it is so far from the truth that he was ashamed for even thinking that he would be well-suited for the task provided. He witnessed only one Unbreakable Vow taking place in the past and he believed that it looked simple enough for him to follow on with,
"Give me your hands..." he said to both of the, staring back and forth from Sonja to Shaw.

If it wasn't for the vow of unquestioning silence or death not to mention the near psychotic bonder looming ominously over the booth, the moment would almost seem romantic. And as much as he didn't fully trust Orphe with the task put before him, he was the only one he could guarantee wouldn't kill the girl simply because he said so--and he still wasn't completely sure he wouldn't.
"Very well. I believe this is where I restate the terms and you say yes, or you say no" the man stated coldly and paused to listen to the girl's determined silence. "Right then, do you hereby vow to not speak a word of our organization's existince, activities, sources, membership or any otherwise related information lest you suffer death by your own hand?" It sounded much colder now than it had a moment prior, the air stung with the presence of a bitter cold aura...although that may have just been Aros as well. It really was quite the tough call.
"Take all the time you need to think it over ... though I doubt a choice between life and death is really all too difficult a one to make."

Sonja looked between Shaw and the psycho, wondering if she even had a chance if she just ran for it now. Death seemed a better choice than being bound with Shaw for the rest of her life; that alone might just kill her. As a matter of fact, it was killing her now. Slowly. Finally, with much hesitation, Sonja slammed her elbow on the table, ready to join hands with Shaw and just get this over with so she could run. There was no way she'd get out otherwise.
"Yes," Sonja answered through gritted teeth, the bitterness in her tone still clearly audible. Her eyes didn't waver for a moment and she stared Shaw down. She wished she'd never gotten involved with any of this rubbish. Now she didn't know how she was going to live with herself.
