Sophie felt so welcomed by the warm invitations from Filius' family. The sentiment made her miss her own family terribly. Still, she knew that they'd probably want nothing to do with her now. Her eyes became downcast as she thought about the memory of her own family back home.

When Sophie heard the pounding of heavy feet against the hard floor, she immediately swung her arm across her body, gripping the hilt of her sword and preparing for battle. She was happily disarmed when the view of the dragon that she and Filius raised together, (albeit, for what somewhat short time before they were separated) came into her eyesight. The sight of Homeward brought tears to Sophie's eyes.

In Homeward, she didn't just see the tiny dragon that she and Filius raised, she saw a flashback of cheerful memories of her childhood, spent with her best friend on earth. She fell to her knees, allowing the tears to fall freely from her weary eyes as she felt her arms open and hugged Homeward's head. He was so much bigger than her last memory of him, but still, she had missed him nonetheless. She nudged her face against his as she silently cried for the childhood she'd lost.
