Markus knew she was not going to be happy to see him. When she pointed to the dagger and strap of leather he nodded and slowly crept up to one of the guards. He froze for a second when the guard shifted a bit, but continued when he was sure the guard was still asleep. The knight grabbed the dagger gingerly and ever so slightly removed it from the guards belt. After that, he moved back to the cage and cut a few straps, allowing enough space for Castitas to escape. Markus helped her out of the cage and he guided her to a safe distance from the camp. When they were far enough away to speak he looked at her, "Look, I know I'm the last person in this Realm you would like to see, but now is not the time for petty hatred. I saw what happened to your kingdom... and.. I'm sorry." His face was covered with a sad expression, one that made it obvious that he was being sincere. "And... I'm sorry for the losses, if I would have just stayed for supper and not have been a pretentious fool, I.." He paused and sighed, "I could have saved them."
