"Of course, officially anyway. Otherwise I am just out here for the thrill of battle." She said.
--------------
Later that day you split up even further to cover more ground. To "Toughen you up." Esdeth reluctantly sends you off with Wave.
You now find yourself surrounded by dozens of living tree stumps with clawed arms and jack-o-lantern like faces.
"You bastards wanna fight, fine by me." Wave says stabbing his sword in the ground. "GRAND CHARIOT!!!" He declares his body covering in armor not unlike Incursio.
This could be your chance to get away if you wanted.

Sayo
Sayo wasn't ready to escape just yet; in fact, she thought it would have been heavily detrimental to the situation if she did so. Her cover would likely be blown; leaving without giving Esdeth the promised time to think things through could easily lead to her deciding not to accept her offer while at the moment, she seemed to be seriously considering it... she trusted her. Enough so to let her out of her sight for a while, despite how she had said how she hated the Empire. If she shattered that trust, Esdeth would never accept to defect, and all her work so far would be for naught... work which, if successful, would possibly turn the tide of the entire war. And besides... she didn't need to leave right away. She'd easily have the opportunity to send a message to Night Raid using her powers later in the day to at least let them know she was okay.
She drew her blade... and went to Wave's aid to fight off the Danger Beasts! "Let's do this!" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 7/7 P.L: 1/2 E: 33/33 P.L: 3/3
13 (Ef.) into Close Combat (Swords) plus 2 from her sword, split into two 8/7 attacks VS two of the monsters.
10 into Acrobatics all into defense.
End E: 17/33 P.L: 0/3 Defense: 17 (4 Ref.Dodge, 3 [No 2x damage] Toughness, 10 actions) Mental Defense: 11 (5 Int, 6 Mental Defense)

You leap in, and cut down several of the monsters. In a matter of moments you clear out most of the enemy.
That Night you Rendevous with the rest of the Jaegers drinking small amounts of booze (Not enough to be hammered, but enough to celebrate a day of hard work.)
The sun has set, and camp has been laid out, the majority of the Jagers turn in with Bols, Wukong, Gloria, and Travis standing watch for the first third of the night.
"Sayo... May I talk with you in Private?" Esdeth asked having traded her high heels for a pair of light blue slippers.

Sayo
"Of course", Sayo said with a smile, getting up to follow her.

she leads you off into a clearing out of sight, and earshot. "I will be blunt, are you affiliated with Night Raid?" She asked hand on her saber. "If you lie to me, I will make you regret it." She warned first.

Sayo
The brunette frowned, folding her arms.
"...You don't have to threaten me. I've never lied to you, not even once. I merely withstood certain details which are dangerous for me to tell you about until after you agreed with my request", she pointed out.
"...And yes. I am. I am an assassin of Night Raid, and a member of the Revolutionary Army", she said without hesitation. "But every single thing I said to you is entirely true. Including the fact that when I entered the tournament, I did it for the money for my village, not as a mission for Night Raid or anything like that."

"I see. That explains why they are stalking us." She said.

Sayo
"...Interesting... I didn't think they'd be here this early", Sayo said, looking around. "...Then I have to ask. Have you made up your mind about my offer?" she asked. "...Because they are my friends. I don't want a fight to break out now. Not until I know on which side you stand. Not until I know for sure whether or not you would come with me... and whether or not some of the Jaegers would if they're that loyal to you. I don't want any of Night Raid... or the Jaegers... to die if it's not necessary, if they can be with me as friends."
She folded her arms.
"If you need more time, I can meet up with them, and ask them to give us more time. I'm sure they will understand."

"I... I do not know... Go... Explain what you need to, they are in that direction just beyond that ridge." She said.

Sayo
Sayo nodded, hugging her.
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon enough. Take your time."
She headed to the location in question, looking around for Night Raid. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 into Intelligence to find Night Raid.

You find them hiding behind a rock formation... Tatsumi, Akame, and Mawari.

"You're back." Tatsumi said hugging her. "Come on, let's get out of here before they spot us."

Sayo
"Not yet, Tatsumi-kun", she said, hugging him back. "Guys... get this. Esdeth basically kidnapped me because she's in love with me."
She let that sink in before continuing.
"...I am trying to convince her to defect. She trusts me enough to send me out here on my own, even though she knows I could try escaping if I wanted to. And... I intend to see this through. If I can convince her to do that... we could have her on our side, and possibly a couple of Jagers who are loyal to her. This could turn the entire tide of the war. So... leave this to me for now, please. Let me try to do this... She needs more time to decide, and I promised to give it to her. So please, give me a couple of days, maybe less! This could change everything." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 into Social Skills (Persuade, Serious) to tell them of my plan and let me complete it.

"You really think you can do that?" Akame asked skeptical, but listening.
Mawari just remains focused on the camp. "Is Kurome there?" She asks her voice containing a slight degree of venom.
