Of course he didn't have to rescue her. But, when you've been around this long you can tell things, just by looking into their eyes. It would've been one thing if she had been a NPC that had gotten the best of those arrogant fools but the eyes said otherwise. He had to help her, his personal vows made that so. He'd looked away before, he'd been on delivering end of the blade too, before...<br/><br/>As they walked she weakened but stabilized her body giving up her glamour in order to heal itself. Her ears drooped in exhaustion and her tails simply fluttered in the slight breeze of his gait. Those burning yellow eyes still held a fire to live, a longing for life. As the trees thickened she asked where they were going. He delayed an answer just to see her response. She nuzzled into his neck that much more, he had her full trust. Well, he wasn't expecting that.<strong>We are going somewhere safe, somewhere quiet where you can rest and recover.</strong>After a few more minutes he decided to answer her first comment.<strong>No one deserves to die over such a petty disagreement, and not three against one either. Had you been one hundred percent and only had to deal with the buffoon in the armor I would've likely just watched.</strong>He could here the sprites chittering in the distance, good to know they could be relied on to repop. He came to the small clearing before his own cave,<strong>Here we are. My home away from home.</strong>Without another moments thought he stepped forward into the darkness of the cave. Knowing where everything would be he set Araya down in the dark on a bed of hay and skins and turned back to the opening disappearing around a corner.<br/><br/>Loud grating could be heard now, Durien was pulling an over large boulder in front of the opening. Setting it in place all light left the cave,<strong>Now, we are as safe as we can be from angry fools and prying eyes and ears.</strong>With an utter of magic orbs lit up around the cave walls. Displaying shelves of items large and small. Some simple and delicate others harsh and horrific. It seemed a trophy room or treasure chamber. Moving to a small chest he picked it up and turned to Araya kneeling down and opening it for her, it was a chest of potions of varying size and color.<strong>Take your pick m'lady all will mend you well.</strong>
