Leaning heavily on the girl as she hobbled out the door, Kayla wondered if she had done too much. But what other choice had their been? They could not languish in these cells while the world burned. It was something of a shock when Ayesha moved from her side and turned to face her, slipping her hands into her own and gazing into her eyes. Once again there was that feeling of intense closeness, as if their souls were touching. Kayla could feel the warm tingling rush sliding through her body, and the tingle-itch of her tattoos told her of the magic being employed, but she was lost in the eyes upturned to hers, feeling as if she was spinning into the dark pupil at the centre, feeling her heart beat faster. And then suddenly the sensation faded. She blinked and the girl was turning away, talking to Zaer. Kayla worked hard to regain her senses, flexing her healed hand and trying to control her racing heart. The after effects of the magic she supposed, thrusting the feeling of intimacy to the back of her mind. There was too much to deal with right here and now.<br/><br/>She finally came to at the mention of guards and regaining possessions, smiling a thankyou at Ayesha with renewed energy, and then began to nod "Indeed, I need my sword back also. Maelstrom is as much a part of me as my arm. I will say this though, and especially to you Lord Ash." She studied the muscled warrior for the first time, taking in his physical stature as she was aware of him looking her over. She was suddenly aware of her lack of armour, and the thin coverings she had on beneath. She concentrated on staying focused. "The guards here are my people, some of them have been under my command. I will not tolerate wholesale slaughter in one of your berserk rages. I want them unconscious, disabled, dead only in dire need for self defense. I will not allow this to become some kind of revenge for our imprisonment! Besides we have neither the time nor forces, nor the luxury of alerting further numbers." She tilted her head towards where the noises were coming from "That was lies the guard chamber. Our things will be there. But then we need to come back this way.." She pointed toward a seeming dead end ".. where there is a passage we should be able to escape through. It will bring us out away from the main entrance if it is not sealed before we get there." She sighed and took a deep breath, a last warning look at the other two, noticeably unable to hold Ayesha'a eyes for long. "there shouldn't be more than two or three of them right now. Let's do it! Quick and quiet" She padded up the hallway, a picture of lithe graceful stealth, barely a whisper following her passage.
