He suddenly thought he heard one of the unconscious kittens stirring.  His wits returned to him a bit.  Keeping a tight grip on the rope between her wrists, he grabs his sword, sheathes it, and pulled out his mundane dagger. He showed her the dagger, close to her face, and put a cautious hand to her lips to tell her to stay quiet or the consequences would be dire.  he ushered her along quickly after grabbing the small bag he carried with him, and set off into the woods hastily with her ahead of him.  Once they were out of sight, he took out another rope and tied a lock-knot around her neck.  It wasn't tight then but if she attempted to flee it would constrict hard around her throat.  They moved along, his hand would smack her backside if she didn't move fast enough.
