The fire did its job to breathe some warmth back into BlackBerry now sheltering inside from the rain, for the moment.

BlackBerry pushed away his concerns over Victoria's work for the moment, there would be time later to ask. He’d seen enough travelling adventurers to accept some strangeness. It seemed that whatever she was doing to the Hammer was nearly finished. He opened his mouth about to ask, but snapped it shut noticing her intense concentration and let her continue with her work.

The next pressing issue was the guard who had apparently now come to his senses at exactly the wrong time.

[color=00aeef]“I imagine he won’t be wanting to cooperate with us just yet, and less so if you continue making threats.”[/color] BlackBerry snapped at Kosara. [color=00aeef] “You can avenge your coat later, if you really must, once we get what we need from the ruffian.”[/color]

BlackBerry couldn’t help a surprised gasp at the knocking, followed by a voice, coming from the front door.

[color=00aeef]“This isn’t the time or place to question him.”[/color] He whispered in a hushed but hurried tone. [color=00aeef]“Let us move somewhere else and return later.”[/color]

BlackBerry quickly, and quietly, tried to make his way over towards the guard, skirting around Lady Kathryn as she.
 
Even if they weren’t going to move anywhere else just yet, if Mr. Mallard opened the door it would be best to not have the bound and gagged guard in view, or worse try and alert whoever was outside.

They didn't have time to debate for hours over their next move. He threw a glance at the souring air between Kosara and Kathryn 

Squat down by the guard on the side opposite to Kathryn, he leant towards the guard's ear.

[color=00aeef]"Now listen here."[/color] He whispered, hushed and low, hoping to drive some sense into the man. [color=00aeef]"At least one of us would like to repay you, tenfold, for that little stunt earlier. But lucky you for most of us are of a respectable sort."[/color]

He cast a nod up towards Lady Kathryn, even though the motion was lost on the blindfolded Guard.

[color=00aeef] "But don't think any of us are fools with time to spare, so behave and be quiet. And you might just survive long enough to get your arm seen to by a proper healer. Otherwise…"[/color]

He let the threat hang in the air for a moment. Hoping to leave the man to fill in the blanks; between Kosaras fury and Lady Kathryns vow at pragmatism, he figured it would be enough. Hopefully. 

Next step. Get the Guard someplace else. But that hinged on Mr. Mallards next move.

Still on his haunches he twisted around to look at the door behind him, directly opposite the one they had come in from. Turning back towards Kathryn, who he had noted had managed to carry the guard in single handedly earlier, he waved his hand to silently grab her attention.

[color=00aeef]"Let's move him out of sight at least." [/color]He whispered as he stood back up and pointed at the other door.

Whether it led outside or to another room he had no idea, but it was the best bet he had.
