Reika stayed where she had been left, sitting in one of the chairs in the tent. She made no move, fearful that one wrong step could be disaster for her. Her gaze raised from the ground as she heard movement towards her, and upon realizing it was lord Lyon's she glanced down submissively.<span style="font-style: italic">"I am keeping you Reika here with me for your own protection. You try to escape and my guards will bind you and you will be treated as a prisoner exchanged if necessary. Understood. There is a cot in back of my tent. Stay there."</span>The girl nodded, not glancing up nor moving still. After a moment, she stood and wandered towards the back of the tent, soon enough finding the cot that was for her.<br/><br/>Reika laid down, but had no intention of falling asleep again. She didn't trust that she was safe. There was too much of a risk, and with danger so close.... she didn't know what to think. 'Alyxander promised me that I would be safe... but if he is not safe, as Kate worries... how can I be?' She closed her eyes for a moment, sighing before opening them again. All was quiet for a little bit, but she made no attempt to move from where she lay. Escape was futile anyways; where would she go? Crawling back to lord Draco would have her killed, trying to escape would have her chained and bounded like the rest. There was no point in putting herself in direct danger any more than she already was.<br/><br/>Reika's gaze turned towards the front of the tent as she heard footsteps, sitting up slowly but not rising from the cot. It was Kate.<span style="font-style: italic">"Come with me. Father has given you permission to sleep with me. I know your dreams are really bad."</span>Reika nodded and got up carefully, glancing warily at the other.<span style="font-style: italic">"I must ask. Are you with child?"</span>The question caught her completely off guard, and she nearly stumbled. 'With child? At a time like this?' She thought. 'What a strange question.' "Not I, miss Kate." SHe answered quietly. Her gaze was diverted though, hiding her expression. Had she been with child yet sent into the midst of this war as she had been,  no doubt the child wouldn't have survived. But there was the chance of it, she feared that the answer to that question may be the opposite. She didn't really know, but hoped not. If she bore a child now, she dared not admit it. She was ashamed of her past, but she'd had no say in any of it. Reika glanced up a bit. " 'tis late. Lead, if you shall."
