There was indeed a back way out of the clan stronghold, but he was not about to show her.  If she went missing, and they knew that he was responsible for helping her do so, his life wouldn't be worth much.  Still he couldn't deny that they fortress was stifling.  He much preferred to be out on the moors, sleeping under the twinkling night sky.<br/><br/>"Aye, the bread here is lovely.  Maybe I should take you up to the hall,"  where they were probably missing her already, "so that you can taste some of it."<br/><br/>He was enjoying getting some time with the lady, by himself, but he wondered that she had been allowed to come unattended to the stables.  He determined that he would act as her guard, until someone who was supposed to be guarding her showed up to fulfill his job requirements.
