Sybil tried to keep herself from shaking as the vampire finally let go of her, grabbing and pulling the cloak around her even tighter. The walk had been bad enough, she wanted to see what condition Prince Cyne had been in, but she couldn't help but stare at the ground as they were escorted past any number of leeches. A thought ran through her head,<i>I'd kill for my whips right now, </i>but even as she thought it, she realized that would entail putting Prince Cyne's life on the line. Unease rippled through her like waves splashing upon a beach. The best way for her to ensure Prince Cyne's safety was to rely on the leader of the leeches to keep her word.<br/><br/>Looking up at the Queen, she struggled for words and bit down harder when her lack of words let her jaw shiver. "Like I said earlier, nothing in this realm would be more valuable in death than Prince Cyne's life. I've sworn myself as his Highness' safety, so even if that means giving myself to you for his safety, so be it." Swallowing deeply didn't make the lump at the back of her throat disappear. It took everything in her power to not glare quite flatly at the vampire. All she could do now was clamp down her jaw, the grating of her teeth likely audible to the unnatural hearing of the vampires present. Averting her eyes, she tried to take in the room around her. In the case of a fight in here, she'd prefer to be prepared.<br/><br/>Cyne was gracious to be out of the dungeons, feeling the magic holding his own back vanish was a shower of relief. He didn't say much more, the tense situation better served in silence. Animosity emanated from Sybil, but he knew she understood that her mistakes here would mean his death. Despite being surrounded what she'd consider as enemies, she'd rather be taken prisoner by Elara than risk his life. Even from a young age, the woman had always held Cyne in high regard, and this wasn't the first time she'd put herself into serious danger to assist him. A part of him was actually a little surprised she hadn't managed to convince one of the others to join her.
