"ENJOYING your time, Foster? After all, it's not your Tribunal." Keefe joked.

"Yes, yes, Keefe, sure I am." Sophie Foster said in a tired voice.

Keefe just stared at her.

Sophie stared back.

Sophie broke the silence by saying in a very high pitched voice "Yay, yay! Woohoo! I am having so much fun!"

She crossed her arms. "Happy?"

Before Keefe said anything, Ro, Keefe's ogre bodyguard, jumped in.

"I'm loving this girl too much." Ro sighed.

"Not as much as she loves me," Keefe replied, draping an arm over her shoulders, "Foster loves me and the Hair."

"Not really."

"Oh, come on and just admit it! Team Foster-Keefe for the win!"

"I guess we should go to Tribunal Hall now." Sophie said, ignoring what Keefe said.

"Sure, Foster. Fitzy must be in there already! What are you waiting for?"

"For you to stop goofing around," she grumbled.

Pretending he didn't hear her, Keefe looped their arms together and dragged Ro along to Tribunal Hall.

When they got there, Sophie wasn't sure what to think.

Maybe that the Vacker family was just wearing normal clothes?

Or maybe because she had come in this poofy dress that she would've happily traded for some pants and a tunic.

Or maybe just because it was just silent.

Councillor Emery broke the silence. "Good to see you here, Miss Foster. Take a seat and we'll get started quickly."

Keefe and Sophie made their way to where Fitz and his sister Biana were sitting with his parents.

Sophie didn't really know what to say.

After all, Fitz and Biana found out that his brother Alvar was working with the bad guys and later found him all beat up in a facility. Now they're in this Tribunal, waiting to see what will happen to him.

Now, it might've been easy to punish a criminal that remembered his crimes. But Alvar didn't. So they were just in this endless circle until they decided 'Oh right now might be a good time to tell the rulers of the world that a bad guy forgot his memories but we can later punish him.'

She went with "Hi."

Biana and Fitz looked up from staring at their toes.

"Hey." Biana said. "Oh, wow, you look amazing!"

"If amazing suits 'looking like a pink poofy yarnball', then, yes, this looks pretty amazing." Sophie said.

She could see a slight hint of a smile on Fitz and Biana.

"So, uh, what brings you here?" Fitz asked.

"Oh, Alden invited us." Keefe said.

Alden smiled at Keefe and Sophie.

Councillor Emery cleared his throat. "This Tribunal will come to order!"

A few guards led Alvar onto a platform.

"Alvar Soren Vacker, you have been accused of very many crimes."

"I agree."

"And we have indeed thought this very through."
