He mocked Brishen through the whole ordeal, knowing he'd get the worse end of all of this but he still continued to do so stuck in his ways. He hardly cared he was use to torment it's something they had trained him for in case he was caught but aside from that giving this damned fool any information was out of the question he'd bite his own tongue off before he let anything slip.
When Brishen finally grew tired of tormenting his new toy and left Rhyldrin alone with the mage he was hardly thrilled. Just what he wanted.. to be alone with a spell caster, sure he might be able to hold his own if he was at full strength but at the moment that was out of the question. He wasn't going to question why he brought up tending the wound at least the major one.. seemed like it was just to ensure he stayed alive longer.
He started to give this mage a part of his mind as well, like hell he was going to sit here and willingly accept help to simply prolong his life in this place. Though he didn't get the chance to say what he wanted as he watched the mage tell the guards outside to leave as well. What the hell was he up to.. why willingly put yourself alone with a captive, even a wounded one that seemed a little foolish.
Though even more to his surprise the mage returned and seemed to work right away on the bindings that were holding him. 'What the hell.. ' Certainly this was a trap or something, what the fuck was going on this was one of Brishen's top men wasn't it? Then again Judith was among the top listed as far as marksmen went.. and she was against the war. The mage never seemed to say a word, though he apparently didn't need to whatever was going through both of their heads seemed to be on the same wave link.
By the time Judith reached the tent Kane had finished seeing to Rhylrin's shoulder and in truth he was about to leave seeing as he understood right away why the guards were told to leave. This wasn't how he had planned to escape from here but it'd do, it was making him think on a few things as well.. like the fact this damned war needed to end if it was pulling people into it that didn't wish to fight not for no reason.
He never said a word as Judith and Kane spoke, he caught the man seemed nervous though he didn't show that nervousness till after Judith showed up.. hat was it. He didn't have to really worry about it but it was curious to him. though his thoughts were brought back to the conversation at hand as the man spoke again. He was calling Judith out on her lie, hell even Rhyldrin could tell she was lying.. she wasn't very good at it that was certain.
She really was a idiot coming here and planning to help him escape.. he would have made due without her help she didn't owe him anything so she didn't need to stick her neck out for him. Maybe she didn't see it that way but he did. She could be killed for helping him and that's the last thing he wanted, hell he didn't really want anyone dying for his sake but at this rate it was a possibly.
Though he watched this little event slightly amused over all. Judith was always doing reckless things as a child, he half thought he might have been a bad influence on her causing her to rebel more by being her friend at such a age. His thoughts on that were disrupted as Kent walked back over towards him and spoke in a whisper, though what he said Rhyldrin was hardly amused at. His ears went back a little before he hissed a reply to his words so only Kane could hear "You should watch your tongue mage.." He spoke such words knowing damn well nothing was going to happen between him and Judith even if he did favor her it didn't make a damn bit of difference.
Sure he was slightly annoyed but he had to be thankful in some form as well that this stranger bothered to help at all, though it was odd for someone who seemed nervous around Judith warned him not cause her trouble. It wouldn't be a problem after he left here, he'd watch himself better and wait to catch Brishen alone next time. That way no one else was hurt in the process in any form.
He shook his head a little after Kane left the tent and had his final words in. He half thought light elves were nuts or there was something in the water but then again some of his own were the same as he thought back to Neimi.. she would have done the same and her husband as well.. even if he trained killers on a daily basis.
He had half a mind to let her just walk out, but he couldn't whatever possessed him he couldn't let her leave like this she was upset and it wasn't anything that she had done wrong. Hell she did everything perfectly up until tonight he was going tot ell her never do that again no matter what was happening.
Seeing as he didn't say anything at first Judith started to turn and walk away but he stopped her from doing so. Getting her to look at him again he let out a slight sigh before speaking. "stupid.. what do you have to say sorry for? You didn't kill me did you. I know damn well you had a clear shot and you didn't take it so why are you sorry? You've done nothing wrong you did as you were told and I'm glad you did it." He smiled at her though it was a little weak but he still kept his hand on her shoulder to keep her from walking away not that she was going to in the middle of him speaking.
"I should be saying sorry I dragged you into this, I had been avoiding you for the past month to prevent just this from happening.. heh and it still happened." He seemed to pause a second before speaking again, he knew he was pressed for time but he needed to get all of this out he couldn't stand to leave her knowing she was going to blame herself. "just.. promise you won't do something like this again... " He said before taking her hand that was holding the lock pick in it in his. "do you know what they would have done to you if you were caught helping me? They would ave killed you just out of spit to try and get to me seeing as everything they did today failed.. so please promise that at least.." He meant it too he needed her to promise it at least before he left, he wasn't sure what he was going to do after he left .. but he just knew he needed to get out of this place for now anyway until his shoulder was fully healed he'd have to wait again.
he wasn't worried about the dragon really, he knew the little creature was good at finding places to hide and about getting out of trouble. Really he had to admit he was glad to see her he had been working so damn hard to keep her off of his mind and he had failed the whole time, but he couldn't tell her that. Though the mage seemed to notice it, he'd have to watch himself to ensure no one else noticed it. If her brother found out she wa a weakness.. he might be insane enough to use her to lure Rhyldrin back out for a round two.
