Thomas looked down at Wallace's hands, and shook his hand, reaching out and grabbing Wallace by the scruff of his neck, pulling him somewhat gently along with him as they exited the room. Sure enough, the Order of the Thistle knights were all still in their positions, looking for any threat that may be coming in. Thomas glanced around, examining all of his knights, before speaking up, "Sir Walden, I want you to take Sir Issac, Sir Bull, and Sir Sven and go to the King. Relieve the Palace Guard from their defensive duties, and have them sent here, to guard Wallace's study." Thomas commanded, as he yanked Wallace forward, advancing as he did, "The rest of you, we're heading back to the Tower." Sir Walden had already started to make his exit with the three other knights, as the rest of the knights formed a square around Thomas and Wallace. Thomas made eye contact with the Regent, before advancing "Are you ready to die for your cause?" Thomas asked, gruffly, shoving Wallace forward. ------------------------------------------ Sir Pyper judged the man, taking a moment to judge the situation, before looking back at Feril at motioning with his hand for her to follow up to him. Sword still drawn, Pyper reached behind him, and grabbed a rope he had attached to the back of his belt, and dropping it on the ground. sword still raised to the guard. Pyper didn't exactly like how easily the guard had given up, but now wasn't the time to worry about semantics. He had a clear way to get Feril out, before leaving himself.
