Phillip nodded, the looked on his face almost gentle, "Rest easy now, Carter," he said gently, yet strongly, "You did the best you could. Let us take care of the rest." He looked to the Duck. "You should take him to Ella, Syn," he said softly, "She can mend some of his minor wounds and at least ease his pain, so he can recover."

Looking up at James and Red, he stood and ran a hand through his hair. "You two should go somewhere safe," he said softly, "Some of my warriors will be here soon, as well as a few... 'friends'. It may get rough here and I don't want anyone else to be hurt." He looked at the pair. "Unless of course you'd feel better defending your freedom. Then the more the merrier. I have to... prepare as well." He looked a bit agonized when he said that final sentence, but he cast the other a rather genuine and sorrowful smile. "Prepare yourselves. This might get messy."

He strode off with that.
