((It's fine, and my plan had ended up going that way eventually anyways, so it's alright :) ))<br/><br/>Alyxander glanced towards the knight as he heard him call out to him.  His grasp on Reika's wrists loosened a bit, but still seemed firm and forceful. "She was being quite a strong-willed fighter for a while." He replied. "But yes, bringing her back to camp was my intention; after she had stopped fighting." Reika jerked against his grasp, catching Alyxander off guard, but whimpering a bit as his grasp tightened again. As the knight and his squire were preoccupied with getting Alyx a horse, the boy leaned forward a bit, discretely whispering something in Reika's ear. "You seem to already know my plan." "Unless I mistaken, I am to act as a prisoner." The girl answered equally as quietly. Alyx smiled a bit, glancing towards the knight before quickly finishing what he'd meant to say. "Yes, and once we get back to the camp I will figure all of this out. I promise I'll keep you out of as much danger as I can."<br/><br/>Alyxander leaned back as the sound of hoof-beats became louder, a second horse being brought for him. He tied Reika's wrists behind her, with a disapproving tug from the girl, and helped her onto the horse's back before climbing on in front of her. He followed along beside the other knight back to the camp, acting as if he didn't care at all for the struggling Reika was doing behind him. "If you don't sit still, you're going to fall off." He said in a cold voice. "That will do you no good." He knew they had to hide their friendship until he figured out a way to keep Reika safe and out of harms way. For now she'd have to just trust him to pull through. This could be a potentially dangerous situation for her.<br/><br/>As they entered the camp, Reika glanced around fearfully; though trying to hide her fright, as she was playing the role of the fearless captive. Being surrounded by your enemy, who would kill you at the slightest provocation, wasn't a very comforting thought for her at all. Alyxander's gaze swept over the masses of wounded soldiers, catching on Kate as she called out to him. "I'm fine. Nothing more than a few deep scratches." He answered, slowing his horse to a stop. "I will heal." He noticed Lyons approaching him and Reika and turned his head, knowing he'd be curious who the girl was. It was no easy task to catch one of Draco's soldiers, but her being cloaked with the crest of their enemy would no doubt be a give-away that she was not an ally of the troops.<br/><br/>Reika hid her fear, struggling a bit against the ropes tied tight around her wrists. There was a wound on her shoulder, inflicted during the battle but not by Alyxander himself. As her gaze caught on lord Lyons she had to really keep up her act; being helpless to defend herself now was really getting to her.
