Thomas could feel his heart in his throat for a moment, before the feeling left due to Thomas reassuring himself. Thomas paused for a moment, before smiling, and then scoffing. The scoff was not in disbelief, but in surprise, "Under law, The Order of the Thistle would be allowed to execute you where you stand." Thomas spoke, as he stood stoically. The number one thing every Order of the Thistle member fought against was outside subterfuge movements, and personnel, inside the country, "Who's commands you, and who's this fugitive?" Thomas asked, as he shifted slightly, but kept standing up and looking down at the rather small woman, "More importantly, what exactly did your fugitive do to warrant such action?" Thomas added, his interest sufficiently piqued. Thomas wasn't about to let her go, but he wasn't going to go back on his promise to her. He needed to figure out exactly what was going on, for the sake of the Order, and the sake of the King. The girl was obviously was a much bigger mystery than she was letting on, something Thomas intended to fix, and he wouldn't ask 100 questions to get the exact answer out, "Don't think because you have noble intentions means you can do whatever you like, however you like." Thomas added, as an afterthought. This was likely an international situation, as if it had to do with the King, and people within Mullen or Keilaudrin, the Order of the Thistle would of no doubt heard of this, also, and Thomas would of already been alerted to the situation.
