To admit it, he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to keep his promise to Judith. The one about them both getting out of here. He knew he could hardly move everything hurt, or rather anything he could feel still. He wasn't sure if it was just too much pan for his body to process at one time or if the nerve endings were damaged to the point that they didn't register pain. Either way he was a little thankful that he couldn't feel half of it.

He didn't move at first when Judith went over to him and brought her hand to his, in truth the thought of moving almost hurt. But after a few moments he moved enough to squeeze her hand so at least she knew he was alive. He needed to recover, who knew when they'd come back for another round. When he finally mustered enough strength to look at Judith she hardly looked any better, a little less bloody but still.

"hey.. " He finally managed to force himself to speak though it was a bit weak sounding and he sounded horse on top of it, probably due to the screams of pain from earlier. "We're still going to get out of here.. I still swear it.." He wasn't sure why he was telling her that, he looked like hell. Escaping was the last thing he would be able to do, let alone if he had to carry her. But he needed to say it, if not for her sake then to reassure himself that he needed to get them both out of here. Though he had no real idea how he was going to manage that.

She smiled sweetly at Bryon as he told her to pick one of her own, of course she took Madaes with her. She knew they'd take any weapons they had on them, so why not take a mage. She could tell that Bryon had taken one of his mages with him as well. Though unknown to most she herself was a blood mage, the dagger she carried at all times was for mere show.

As they were escorted towards the King's chambers she looked at Madaes who seemed concerned. 'whats bothering you..' she whispered to him, though this was a little un-nerving that was certain.

'It'll be a blessing if the girl's alive... let alone if Rhyl's alive as well, you know it as well as i do.' He spoke just as softly to her as they walked, if he was alive he'd for sure be in no real condition to brag about. The girl may still be alive as a trade source, but Rhyldrin.. he wouldn't tell any information no matter what. That's how he was trained, it was take any knowledge to the grave.

Once they were to the King's chamber they were told to bow before the ruler of the dragonkin. Both sides did so and remained there until they were told to stand. He quickly snapped at both of them asking what they wanted and why they had come, unless it was to return that which was stolen.

Bryon went on to explain he had the amulet, but he wanted to see the captive. The dark elf queen added in her voice as well saying she was sure they had two elven captives, and that they expected both of them.

The dragonkin king seemed amused enough by the request/demand as he sent Anna and Marcus to get the two and bring them here. Once the two left the room closing the doors behind them the room grew deathly silent. Both groups watching the other.

Anna voiced her complaints to Marcus as they walked towards the holding cells. Saying that she was about to lose her pet. She could care less if they took the girl, but they should leave the other, he was as good as dead now anyway. Or that's what she thought anyway knowing what hell she had put him through earlier that very day.
