Rais stopped dead in his tracks from the girl's stare. Gone was the wild grin and confident swagger he usually carried on his various raids, battles, and other such excursions. This feeling, this thrill, he got when he looked at this girl's fierce eyes was something he thought he only felt when he found an opponent worth fighting. She had intrigued him now, this was definitely turning out to be a profitable trip in a way he didn't expect. He strode past the boy to her and knelt bringing himself to her and the injured girl's level. A small, genuine smirk graced his lips as his own golden eyes met hers. 

"I can understand your apprehension. We are after all a bunch of armed men asking for your custody while your home is besieged by enemies, but I think you'll find that I am your only salvation. I don't know who you all are but I can tell you're important, nobility at the least, and you'll fetch a good ransom when this dies down. Now I'm no monster, you won't come to harm in my care. And.." He looked past her to look towards the injured girl. "I could save her life. But, only if she were in my custody, a damaged girl isn't profitable after all." He looked back to the golden-eyed girl but addressed the boy and the old man all the same. "So does that change your answer at all?"
