"Then it's settled." Xarius declares with a nod, leaning down to undo the drow's shackles. "I look forward to working with you and your friend." the paladin declares, offering a hand to help the seated drow to his feat. "Let's see about releasing your friend then shall we...she's a Centaur you say? and eh, thanks for the warning, would sorely hate to offend and be on the receiving end of one of those kicks....if what it did to the wall is any indication." he comments with a wince of displeasure at the mere thought, not that he was keen to make saddle jokes upon seeing a centaur, but well, it's best to know what not to say before hand, rather then allow a slip of the tongue to compromise their attempt at freedom.<br/><br/>Striding past Delia, Xarius gives her a supportive squeeze on the shoulder, the two of them were working together quite well thus far, demon or not she was impressing him. "You mind staying near the entrance while I unshackle the next one? You don't have to stay in the hall, but i think one of us should keep an ear outside the dampening field, in case a guard comes down to check on things."  It wasn't that he didn't trust the drow to stand guard.... but well if the centaur ,for whatever reason, was not as agreeable as he, he didn't want her friend to be in a position where they could possibly bar the door and keep the pair of them inside with a creature capable of buckling the cell's very walls. That and, being dressed as a guard like he was, Xarius wanted the drow by his side when he made his appearance, to limit any initial hostilities.<br/><br/>With keys in hand, Xarius makes his way to neighboring cell, curious as to what other prisoners may be on board, if they already had a drow, a demon, a catboy, and a centaur among their ranks. Unlocking the door, Xarius swings it open and steps inside "Greetings miss, don't be alarmed by my attire, I released your friend and we are here to set you free as well." he calmly declares, wanting to get that out of the way as quickly as possible, given the fact the drow had mistook him for a guard, and the stories of what the centaur had done to guards while boarding.
