"well .. you asked" He said to her saying she felt safe though when she moved closer and wrapped her arms around him he seemed at a loss of what he was suppose to do. They'd both be killed on sight if anyone saw this, though he thought about that for a moment. He didn't care.. what did he have left to really live for aside from making sure she made it through the attack.
"Shh.. " He said softly to her to get her to stop talking bout the coming attack and the possibility that her town might fall. He put both arms around her keeping her close before he spoke again. "To tell you the truth, I didn't know you were going to be here. I hoped that you would but... I wasn't going to let you know I was here." He sighed a little, he didn't want to ruin her life by dragging her with him. "I came here to seek a audience with your current king, I know that's a request I'd hardly be granted considering what happened to the last king.. " It'd probably be a good joke that the king slayer wanted to speak to the king.
He went on after a few moments and moved a hand to place it under her chin to make her look at him "I'm not going to let it happen..." He meant the attack even if he had to draw blades against the queen herself he'd prevent more bloodshed over nothing. No one even knew why the war was still going on, surely the king of the light elves or least the current one didn't want this. And the Queen of the dark elves was upset at the loss of their home and her child that had fallen victim.
Releasing her chin he moved his hand to her hair brushing a few stray stands from her face. "I've protected you up until now haven't I?" He smiled at her though it was a little weak, he knew that if the guards caught him he'd have no chance in hell of getting his audience let alone he'd probably be killed on sight. Then on the other hand convincing a army of dark elves to back down wasn't a task that was easy either.
"i'm going to finish what my parents started..." He finally said aloud. That probably answered a few questions if you put facts together, there was a report of two dark elves with a handful of their guards being killed within the city walls during the time of the peace treaties that were due to be underway. Word got around that the past king had ordered the group to be slain, he had wanted war. Rhyldrin only took the contract to kill the late king to get his revenge, the war was something he didn't plan on sparking afterwards but thanks to the blood thirsty ones like Brishen that's exactly what happened.
Looking over her face he swore to himself that the kiss was real, but he didn't make any sign that he was thinking about it. Though he wanted to kiss her, just in case he didn't get out of this one and the odds were stacked rather high against him this time around. He quickly dropped the thought of such a thing she probably only did so back then because he was pretty much good as dead, besides there wasn't any proof that's what she had meant by anything she said or had done. He was probably reading into it all too much.
"I need to get going though... before the guards figure out someone got into the walls" He was on a time limit the sooner he got the talk with the king over with the sooner he could get to figuring his plan out for the queen.... not that he wanted to leave her side, but she deserved someone who wasn't always running off putting their life on the line that was for sure. Reluctantly he stepped back away from her, it was the only way he could force himself to let go he knew the odds were that he wasn't going to pull out of this unscathed. "You know what... " He started off before getting Vrine from his shoulder and handing the dragon back over to her "Whoever you settle with, will be a very lucky man." Though he said it with a smile like he knew she had someone in mind or something, though he did't really know. Hell truth be told he didn't know if in her kind the females choose or the males, he knew how it worked for his people where the females were the dominate ones.
He didn't really give her time to reply to his words as he returned to a rooftop quickly. In truth he didn't want a reply he needed to focus on getting to the center of the town without being detected and staying in one spot for too long was dangerous on it's own let alone being seen with a light elf who wasn't trying to kill him.
