Neil found himself outside for the first time since his capture, though still within the walls on the castle grounds. The sudden burst of cool morning air left him feeling refreshed and strangely vulnerable as he exited.

Inside, he had a thick stone wall to obscure himself from the many armed guards, at the very least.
