Blayze gasps hard as the collar of his shirt digs into his neck. He chokes on his own saliva as he is thrown back. He coughs hard, leaning against the table. He does not glare at the Commander. Rather, he keeps looking at the ground. Why did he have to be so loyal and so stupid at the same time? The Queen never commanded him to leave her, but she did say to go find recruits. Why hadn't he been smart enough to remember that he should have stayed with the Queen? Or at least one of them should have. He rubs at his now marked throat, blinking the bright pain out of his eyes as he grabs his bow once again and notches another arrow in it. 

There's a sudden movement behind him and Glenndaugion throws a knife, stabbing an incoming spy or assassin near the doorway. Blayze immediately readies himself as the bishop begins to explain that they have to leave. He looks to the window and sees who he recognizes as one of Ovorion's spies. He raises his bow, draws back his string, and shoots directly through the glass, causing it to shatter. If the bar was not in panic right now, it was certainly at this point. The glass falls upon the heads of the other patrons and people begin screaming and running for the door. Blayze turns to the bishop and his commander and says, "They are here faster than you think, my lords. We must get the princess and queen to safety. There is a passage through the woods near a cabin that I found out there. It is abandoned and so deep in the woods that no one would have found it. I stumbled upon it by chance on my recruiting journey. We could take up refuge there for the moment." He looks at the commander expectantly. "I know I have let you down, sir, just give me a chance to prove myself again. I will lead the way, that way if any enemies come our way, I will be the one to die first." 

[i]Or they will[/i]he thinks to himself. Without waiting for an answer, he runs to the front of the tavern, shoving passed running and screaming people and stands guard outside the tavern doors, another arrow raised to his eyes. He is ready if any more spies or assassins are to come. He notices a few people still standing as people are running and screaming to get to their homes. [i]People who stay have something to lose[/i] he thinks to himself again. He watches those men closely, making sure they don't move. He awaits the commander and the Royal line as he stands guard outside the door.
