Alyxander hissed a bit with pain as the arrow was yanked out, breathing hard with his eyes closed tight. He turned quickly on Raoul, but Josephine held him back. "He was trying to help." "Well he could have 'helped' a bit gentler." The boy glanced over towards Raoul as he apologized, and he folded his arms, wincing as his shoulder moved. He raised an eyebrow questioningly at his quiet 'thank you' and sighed. "Your welcome." With that, he turned to head off upstairs and into his room, followed by Sir William. Josephine sighed and smiled a bit. "Well, he seems to be a bit less bitter. Usually he would have either not answered or mentioned how he would have left you behind if it wasn't for my attachment. It is progress at least." Madam William was back to making tea, and had been overjoyed and teary-eyed upon finding that Raoul and Josephine had been successfully rescued. Josephine didn't have any wounds other than small scrapes from being thrown around and bruises from the ropes that had been tied around her wrists. However, the scars that were not seen went much deeper than she had expected. She knew Raoul did not think her a whore after what had happened, but she worried about how the rest of her family would react. Alyxander most of all. She knew he would be the first to end up curious about her ruined dress and lack of underclothes. Josephine gently kissed Raoul on the lips before pulling back again, running one hand through his hair. "I shall be right back. This ruined dress is quite uncomfortable for me. And it is not proper for a lady to be under-dressed, even if she is cloaked." She smiled and hurried up to her room to get changed.
