Alara sighed as stepped up to the Egyptian woman and put a hand on her should. She was soft not like him with skin like a lizard. He didn't truly enjoy the empress but she was still a person, and so was he, and he was ready to help her out, she wasn't the one who had beaten him, just the guards. The truth was that he was angry at who ever poisoned the ruler, that person was an evil that plagued humanity, killing someone because you don't agree, he first thought the Egyptian may have done the deed but seeing how deeply she cared he doubted it, still he had to keep a vigilant I on her.

"tell you what, I'll help you watch her, I don't look like much but I can take my fair share of a beating and give back just as much, you have plenty of fight alone I trust? But be prepared to run, there is no cowardice in it if you do it for the sake of another" he said looking her in the eye with his bruised face, a smirk was there at the beginning but he realized this was not the time to be smug, still he had his average cocky look to him.
