Raoul tried not to take offense at Alyxander's words about him and being a man of action.  He had no idea what the prince had tried to accomplish and all for naught...it was almost as frustrating as being stuck in this house day in and out and now that he knew there was a possibility of him actually doing some good? Well it was like giving a horse his head and then reigning him back in after he got his first taste of being free.  He sighed and nodded "I know how much you hate me but i thank you for your understanding and willingness to talk to Sir William; and just think if I don't come back yo can have me hanged...wouldn't that just make your day?"<br/><br/>"I will be fine" Raoul said trying to put on his most convincing face.  "I hardly feel it and my pace is back to normal...I promise to you that I would not attempt this if I did not think it is possible."
