He laughed a little listening to her, she must have been exhausted by the way she spoke. What a silly thing to say for going to sleep. Though he'd have to watch himself with this, he was walking a razor edge as it was due to rejecting certain offers before this whole incident. He might have to take back his word from the commander in charge of this section just to cover his tracks here. But that was his problem not hers, he was already in the works of trying to figure out how to get her out of here without drawing too much attention let alone how to ensure she got to any of the light elf camps without them knowing he had any dealings with this.

He sighed heavily closing his eyes for a moment "what have I gotten myself into now..." He could have prevented this years ago, what had stopped him. He blamed his parents though he hardly got the chance to know them it seemed fitting enough, his mother probably being one of the few that'd understand this situation at all. 'Too late now I guess.. might as well press forward and see this through' Leaving the bedside he walked to a small side room, it seemed to be a bathroom though his living quarters were simple enough nothing fancy. After a few moments he walked back into the room with a small box and set it on a stand near the bed.

Though he came to the idea that she'd owe him a good slap for this later. "Just stay asleep..." He said aloud, not like she could hear him she seemed rather out of it 'it'll be less awkward that way.' Her clothes were already tattered as it was so he didn't bother trying to salvage them as he cut the remaining cloth away from her body. He only moved her when he had to, he seemed more worried about her waking up and trying to explain to her what was even going on. On top of that her current exhausted state probably couldn't grasp that he wasn't doing anything to her, he was sure the guards had tried but from what he could tell she had deterred them.

Quickly getting to work he went about getting a small cloth and a basin of water to start cleaning the wounds before treating them. "Your lucky you know that... " He was still talking to her even if he knew she wouldn't respond. "I use to think how silly it was with all the steps my father took to dress wounds from skirmishes... it's almost funny that I'm doing the same steps here." He found a slight bit of morbid humor in it, his father had been one of the medics of this clan and his mother was working as a ambassador for the dark elves.

It probably took a good few hours for him to finish dressing all of the cuts and wrapping the larger ones to prevent further bleeding. Though once he was finished she looked to be in a better state then before, though it was easy to tell she was still pretty weak. Really to admit it he was mentally exhausted from all of this, his kind wasn't known for acts of kindness no matter who the hell you were. Yet here he was trying to save a sole light elf. To what end if the dark elves won this war.. she'd never be able to live a life so to speak...

He needed to stop thinking so damn much it just made his headache worse. She wasn't going anywhere and he had done all he could while she was asleep. He pulled a sheet over her before leaving the room returning to the smaller room that was on the side, he'd shut the door if there was one. It had been removed a few years ago when he had a bad habit of drinking a little too much and running into it, though in more recent years he found that killing light elves had taken place of the other habit.

He had stayed in the other room for at least a hour, taking a shower in the process and dealing with anything else he needed to. Though most of it he had been in almost a daze of trying to figure out how the hell he was going to keep his hide through all of this. Though his thoughts were disrupted with knocking on the outer door.

He grumbled a bit to himself pulling pants on as he walked out to see who the hell was bothering him. Normally he'd be asleep by this time, and he had every intention to get at least a few hours of sleep seeing as he never bothered to put the rest of his gear back on, shirt included. This exposed the fact that he had more then just that one scar on his face, it seemed he had been through enough close calls to support the devil's luck that most seemed to say he had judging by the size and placements of most of them. The person knocked again as he sighed heavily getting to the door. "damn it can't you hold on a second, rush rush that's all you worthless pawns do."

The person on the other side of the door seemed tense as Rhyldrin opened it, giving him a quick salute of sorts before going about the message he had. "The commander wants to inform you that he has another task for you general..." Rhyl gave the poor low ranking solider a glare tat could kill if possible. "how many times do I have to say it... I'm not a general I refused the position, I've said it to the commanders face if the light elves ever decide to pay me more I'd work for them"

The solider nodded a little backing away from the door. "Well whats his bark this time?" Rhyl finally asked seeing as he had terrified this poor guy. "Oh er... we know the location of another light elf encampment.. he wanted you to lead the assault this time and..." He cut the messenger off quickly. "No, I work alone, I'm not changing that. Besides I'm still in the process of a task tell him send some of the new recruits to get the experience" He never gave the guy time to complain about him saying no as he shut the door.

"What the hell do I look like?" He sighed again thinking on that a little 'like hell I'm going to start letting him bark orders down my throat just because I happen to be here for once.' He thought to himself before walking back across the room and sitting in a chair off to the side, he never bothered to check if all of this had woken Judith up or not, he had other thoughts on his mind so he was a bit distracted. Though distraction quickly died off after a few moments as he nodded off, he just needed a hour he'd work through whatever he had to then.
