For a moment Jester felt tugs of amusment pulling at his heart but the chuckle died in his throat before it had started, coming out as a strangled coughing sound. He couldn't see her in the darkness, not even the faint glow of her eyes, so he wasn't quite sure what her expression was, though he knew it was nothing pleasant. Nor should it be. Now what? He had her in the cave, they were safe for the time being. From here he could either continue to Caronia, taking her in pieces as she requested, or set her free. What to do, what to do? "I know." He said eventually, hoping it didn't sound too lame as he wasn't really sure what to say. This wasn't exactly the time to be sarcastic as he usually was. Taking a deep breath he stepped to the side, revealing a small hole of light between him and the opposite wall of the cave. "Go... go quickly and stay low." He knew that he was potentially opening himself up to be killed, if word got out that he slipped the secret then all hell'd break loose. But what else could he do?Frill remained where she was dropped, pulling her wings against her sides and glaring at him with darkened eyes.
She attempted to calmly assess the situation, but it seemed any sense of calm she once had was off and gone somewhere miles away. Probably in a much happier, and safer, place than she was. She watched him, her feet resting on the clammy, soggy floor; nose clogged with the cave's stale scent. "I am not going there. I hope you if you try to take me, you'll bloody well be taking me in pieces."
