Rezenar kept his eyes on Cithien, letting his mind wander with random thoughts of what could happen and what could not happen. It eventually changed as he heard her speaking in her native tongue. His mind started guessing at what she could be saying during this time that she was supposedly knocked out. At least she was still alive and he was somewhat grateful for it.
Finally, he watched as she woke up and gave him a glare. A smile just appeared on his face as he watched her search for her dagger. He would love to show it to her, but that would cause more fighting between them. Technically, he would gladly fight, but he knew they were both in no shape to fight again.
"Woman, you should calm down. That wound of yours will open up more if you're not careful." Rezenar mentioned and watched as she finally stopped moving.
What bothered him was her stare at him, but it was understandable. She was probably wondering why he didn't kill her, and her question confirmed it to him. He honestly wanted to answer back with his own question regarding her "I am sorry" quote, but he was going to hold it in for a few.
"Honestly, I must admit that I was questioning the same thing to myself when I was awake." Rezenar said, giving emphasis on the word 'myself' for some odd reason. It sounded as if he implied that there was more than one person, but that couldn't be the case because they were the only two there. Rezenar continued.
"Will it be demented if I told you I kept you alive to die a slow and painful death? That would be a very humiliating death, indeed. Let me first say that I have no intention of killing you off anytime soon in no specific way. Your fighting has amused me to no end and once you get better, I look forward to fighting you in the near future."
He stood up and looked ahead. From a glance, there appeared to be a few figures. After a few more yards, their silhouettes became more clear-- there were both Elves and Humans rushing to them. A frown appeared on his face, a bit surprised they came
together. Rezenar walked to the group and spoke to the Elves regarding Cithien's condition. Of course, they had to curse at him for what he did and he snapped back at them, letting them know she was still alive. The Elves went to her as Rezenar went to his own soldiers.
"We're surprised you survived after fighting Cithien. After talking to a few Elves after the truce, we learned that she's one of the more very skilled fighters. Probably the best one there!"
He couldn't help but smile amusingly. His dark demeanor eventually wore off and immediately, his hand went to his side. Rezenar tumbled to his knees and the soldiers went to him. Rezenar's blood-shot eyes were back to their dark green color.
"She... she definitely is..."
Carefully, he got back up and walked over to watch the Elves tending to Cithien. He didn't know why, but he seemed pretty satisfied with what's been going on-- his fight with Cithien, the Elves and Humans getting along for the time being... and in the end, no one was able to get the Mystic Grove under possession. At least it gives him more opportunities to visit this place by himself more often.
