"I got a potion down my throat and headed in after you. I paused on hearing noise behind you." Valen narrowed his eyes in turn. "I wouldn't have been able to progress without your lessons in lockpicking. Those memories in my mind, I couldn't fall behind, I had to come after you and find you and make sure you are safe." She smiled. "Besides you haven't finished teaching me how to pick those locks either." He paused at this.<br/><br/>Hoping she would catch on. If she was the right woman, she would know that the lockpicking was just a cover name to things. Intimate things. "The way you can work the interiors of a lock is without match, and I wish to learn more from the best. I would never forgive myself if I left you in trouble alone. So I hurried after you. Hoping I'd find you alright." He nod his head.<br/><br/>"Now, are you Sharille ? I'm confused by this place, but I did thrust my blade around the corner high, just in case it was you. I didn't want to hit you by mistake, but neither did I want to want to allow myself to be ambushed. Anyone my size would have been stepping back with a bleeding wound."
