[Rosekitten]

He never bothered to take notice of the girl being lost in her own thoughts as he started to walk away, he had things he needed to do and with the queen's own knowing where his current location was meant it complicated things all the more. Though after a moment or two he noticed she seemed to follow him, not that he cared either way. She would draw her own trouble just by being a light skin but he wouldn't have expected what she was about to tell him in a hundred years.

"I'd rather know trouble follows then to have it appear unexpectedly myself... I could have remained a slave to the queen's will." He knew if he had stayed his death would come soon enough, he still remained a threat to the queen for a few reasons but they could be brought up later. He seemed to expect the queen was out to get this girl, the dark queen had it out to either kill or enslave all of the other races though he held a high distaste for the light skinned elves that once ruled the lands.

She seemed to make him stop to show him something as she moved her shirt, though it wasn't a symbol he thought he'd ever see. He could have bet his life that he would never see it, but yet there it was right in front of him. He seemed to let out a slight laugh, he found a odd bit of humor in this before he spoke again. "By the goddess... " He wasn't even sure what else to say, all those years ago that girl they were sent to hunt down and she was standing there, fate was indeed a cruel mistress. "So that's how it is.. I see" he seemed to be more talking to himself then her before he redirected his attention to her.

He heard her out, not that he felt he had a choice in the matter. Some greater force seemed to bind his fate to this girl in one way or another or else she would have been dead all the years ago. Earlier when he had been saying milady and being slightly formal he almost felt like he should be apologizing for his rudeness. "I won't be able to follow you through certain areas.. though the dark queen rules most of the land there are areas where my kind are far from welcome... As far as you helping me, don't worry yourself about it. If you take back your rightful place on the throne you'll be helping more then you'll know."

He knew she couldn't really help with what he needed to do, plus he had all intention to avoid being seen with the girl when, once she regained her rightful spot on the throne. There wasn't going to be a when it would happen. "If we're going to be traveling together it'll make it easier on you to move through most of the towns that are owned by the queen, safest place is in plain sight." He never explained why he believed that so openly, but it had proven its self countless times. Also what he was saying is a light skinned elf traveling with his kind normally meant one of a few things, either way it wouldn't be questioned at all in most towns till they reached the outer towns and villages where the queens influence wasn't as strong or not existent at all.

Though if she was the last remaining royal tie her kind had left it further proved she had lied before trying to cover up that she had saved his life. "I still plan to part ways with you for a short while though, there's no point in taking you to a heavily defended barracks camp." He wouldn't go if he didn't have to, but he had heard rumors of the encampments around the lands having captives... he needed to know for sure before he gave up on Neimi, even if it took searching every cell owned by the queen he had vowed to find her or at least proof that she had moved on.
