It would be so easy to must allow himself to give in around her.  She had that type of charm, beauty, that could distract him almost at a whim.  But he'd buckle down, his eyes closing as he let his hand drop down from her neck to her shoulder, kneading it gently.  "Intelligence gathering.  I'll have to know who it is I need to lash out at to free you.  Any type of guards he may have.  Any spells that may be laying around to trigger upon such an attack.  I don't want to go after this individual half-cocked and end up unprepared."<br/><br/>His eyes would open slowly, and everything was just a touch hazy it seemed.  "I'll use the hunters as a distraction.  That'll allow me to move into the grounds nigh-invisible.  Perhaps even distract the one you currently call jailor.  If he's in the thick of a disturbance, it'll be all the easier to strike at him."  He'd pull his hand away slowly, reluctant to let the touch escape.  "That will be our plan.  Utilize a diversion to strike at him, obtain the item needed, and depart."
