When facing Old Hawke's questioning about the matter.
The first thing Violet expressed was that she was not at all surprised by what was happening before her eyes.
After all, these things were anticipated from the very beginning.
Then she asked a question that showed deep curiosity towards the man in front of her.
"Does everything I do within this mercenary corps group require reporting to you?" If the person agreed with this statement at this point.
Then it would be a blatant challenge to the authority that Violet holds within the Bronze Shield Mercenary Corps Group.
Does Hawke have the courage, the guts to make such an act in the face of what is happening now?
It entirely depends on his judgment of the matter at hand.
If displaying courage could bring more benefits to oneself, no one would refuse.
Yet most of the time, displaying courage in the face of a superior only brings more pain.
