"My name is Argo,"
Argo... It made sense now. He had heard the stories about this woman, the woman who had murder Ariya Celice and mimicked her powers. If she had the powers of Saint Celice, it would make sense that Edward felt naturally uneasy around her, considering Saint Celice and Thanatos had sought to end each other in the past. Perhaps they could be allies, they both seemed to oppose the church strongly, and were wanted criminals. But if she only wanted power? What if she tried to kill him as well to gain his powers? He decided to meet this girl's demands, he was hardly in any state where he could argue. He was just about to speak when Joseph cut him off.

"Argo, this man needs healing, he is hurt. Edward. We need to find my sister, she could be in danger. I helped you escape, now help me find her."
"She, she isn't touching me." Edward stammered as he lifelessly pointed an accusing finger at the girl clad in black, "I don't know whether or not we can trust her. W-what if she kills us too?"
Edward lowered his arm and staggered backwards, trying to put as much distance between himself and Argo without making her suspicious that he would flee on a moment's notice. He didn't get far before nearly falling backwards again, using his lance to stop him from toppling over.
"I, I'll help you find your sister, but not now." Edward continued, "I need to sit down and rest..."
Edwards thoughts began to drift to the appealing prospect of sleep and his eyelids began to droop down, they felt so heavy...

Edward's eyes snapped open again as he felt himself falling over, and once again saved himself with his lance.
"Argo," Edward began wearily and pointed to a copse to the south, "You came from that direction, is there anywhere we could rest in safety in that copse?"
