It might have seemed like Sorin had nothing to worry about in that respect. If Hyarmenion was anything, then he was certainly stalwart. He did indeed stick around to secure that gate even while he actual main force had started to split up into three different squads.<br/><br/>At this point though he had just assumed for the worst, prepared for it and allowed that to continue to feed his anguish. Therefore he had no idea that a sizeable number of Imperial Soldiers had surrendered to the Carlisle Army. Urgency was the order of the day for him at all times. Eventually, though, it looked like the fire was dying down, and he recognized what that meant even in this state.<br/><br/>Nevertheless, he didn't give up quite so easily, and continued to drive on for the time being. He was certainly quite a force to be reckoned with when it came to this kind of thing. Those fighting him hadn't tried to surrender, and thus what he had done was not carry out an execution. Rather, he had taken them down while fighting, and therefore not actually been in violation of her rules.<br/><br/>Only after he had finished the fight did he actually receive that vital information from Kumi. In this state it was hard to understand, but he could communicate with the fox. Elves had to be tied to nature on many levels. Regardless, he was starting to come off his violent high, and he hoped that Kumi could understand him as he fought behind increasingly rapid breath.<br/><br/>"I will stop for now." It was apparently all that he could force through for the time being.<br/><br/>At this point he understood why she had tied up those who hadn't elected to fight him directly. "We're going to need to hold that gate at all costs now. We've won for the time being, but there's no telling yet if there's going to be anyone to come back here and try to recapture it." The way that he had said that was sort of non-committal. He wasn't entirely sure if anyone would have, but he had wanted to be ready if there were.<br/><br/>At this point, though, he would have highly doubted anyone would have wanted to come back and get a piece of any of that. It looked as though he had wanted to make sure that he had been ready regardless of what might have happened.
