On the instant of feeling a painful band around his neck, Damien instinctively froze. He tried with his will to summon up a spell that would grab the company's feet and prevent them from moving, but his magic would not respond to his wishes. He was emotional, he was angry, but he was adult enough to understand the circumstances he was in. He too, had been trained as a soldier and knew the importance of order and how to keep it. Not fully understanding what Elycia had done nor what was expected of her, he had no justification to defend her. The commander hadn't killed her, and this was not his place to intervene. Damien was also a religious man, or had been, and even still, it was his natural inclination to accept his place as a mortal and revere the divine. Natural order did not bother him. It was with these thoughts in mind, and a sword point beginning to pierce his flesh, that he gave in. "I relent, sir." To further his sincerity, he dropped his sword to the ground.

"very well. you shall be marked for your transgressions and be charged with caring for my useless subordinate. she shall be stationed here until further notice, understood?" he says as he sheathes his sword and withdraws a dagger, taking damien's hand and carving a sun into it as he can hear the small crunch and outcry of bones being righted painfully, signaling that elycia had awoken and was tending her wounds the best she could. after marking damien and leaving him with his orders he gives a small gesture for his men to release him, leaving him on his hands and knees before the supposed angel as he awaits confirmation on his new subordinate's orders reaching him and his new fate as elycia's warden sink in
