He knew Emily was pushing herself to keep going, but she needed rest and the sooner the better. He wasn't sure if she had gotten any sleep at all for the past few days. That was normal for him to go without sleep but she needed it. As they seemed to reach their final destination of walking, at least for the moment... he had to admit he was glad off it. The longer he watched Emily the more he thought she would just fall over where she stood. Even just standing there she could still fall over from the looks of it but at least now it wouldn't be on stairs.

As the woman greeted them and introduced herself it clicked in why he knew of this place or it seemed familiar. When he was working for the Queen she often spoke of the places that held thorns in her side. The few places that remained strong and able to keep their freedom from her.Emily would be safe enough here, even if he took a short leave of her side to try and figure out what was causing his sudden bursts of illness in certain areas they had been to.

For now he merely listened to the woman talk to Emily and speak that they were both welcome. Sure it was nice to hear, but he wasn't sure she knew her people as well as she thought. Some of the looks when they were walking all this way spoke very clearly that there were a handful bold enough to try and seek out revenge for whatever lost loved ones that had suffered at the hands of the Queen's troops. Emily seemed to agree to a few days at least, though seeing as she was nearly about to pass out it was no wonder she agreed almost too quickly.

He bowed slightly towards the woman who was trying to be as nice as she could to the both of them. "Sorry but
i must decline your offer, I have a few personal matters that I need to attend to." He paused a moment before noticing the glance Emily had given him she seemed like she was torn if she should protest to him pretty much saying he wasn't staying here. It wasn't due to safety or anything of the sort, even weakened he was pretty confident that he could handle himself.

He wanted to tell Emily to just relax and get some rest finally, but it seemed out of place to talk to her so. She was royalty after all and he wasn't about to test his luck even in this place... no matter how nice the ruler seemed to be. Before Emily could protest it he went about taking his leave from her. He needed to do so and soon, using his powers against the ones who had kidnapped her didn't help matters now. He needed to stop pulling off such foolish stunts before it killed him. If she needed him he was pretty sure she could find him or get a guard to go and seek him out. H had trained her a little so he was sure she could find him if she truly wanted to.
