When the Orc woman revealed herself to be a supporter of the escaped Princess Helen of Grond, Kall raised his own water flask in a salute. "A toast to Princess Helen of Grond-may she forever escape being a forced concubine to that ugly Prince Trevon. And the same to you, since your family wanted to marry you off to someone you don't love or even like. Parents should respect their daughter's wishes for who they want to marry. I will respect your wishes. I won't try and share your bed, or force kisses on you. You must be on the run because your family went to the Tribal Court and raised the hue and cry over the marriage refusal. I'm in self imposed exile because my brothers decided to force me out so one of them could become the Tribal Chief when my father died. I could have fought back but they are my brothers. I didn't want to kill them or to subject them to the blinding iron if I won, as we used to be on very good terms. So I left in the night. I agree to help you out as best as I can."<br/><br/>That night, after they had eaten all they wanted to Kall put the fire out with a soft hiss  by pouring some water on it, telling Helen that it was so the light would not give them away to anyone looking for them, and he gave Helen a wide berth so she would not think he was going to try and share her bed.<br/><br/>*****<br/>In the morning, by which time they had moved on a bit, the guards discovered, not a helplessly bound and gagged princess ready to be carried in a closed litter, but ropes, a gag, and the signs of an escape. "Your Majesty, Princess Helen has escaped!"<br/><br/>"Have everybody search the castle for her. The castle servant who captures her will be made an honorary noble, and if a noble is the one who catches her he or she will be given gold and a rank raise." For an hour everywhere from the dungeons to the topmost turrets of  Castle Grond were searched, and then mounted warg units were sent out to try and find the royal escapee to drag her back to give her to Prince Trevon.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Kall told Helen "We need to go along mountain tracks and through streams to break our scent trail in case wargs are after us. The further we get away from your tribe the better. If we stay here they are likely to track you down." He was determined to protect the emerald beauty from capture, even though she had not even told him her name.
