You dress and Sarah makes a quick exit

Stepping out of the room, Sarah quickly walks pasts the guards who chuckle behind her.

"I heard a lot more than just dressing in there..." One of them says with a laugh.

"Turid wouldn't like you mentioning that..." The other replies sternly.

"Well its not like the deaf bitch here can hear me..." He says with a scoff, leading her through the narrow hallways to her chambers, unlocking the door and guiding her in.

Composing herself, Sarah leans back against the wall and takes a deep breath as she hears the guards voices faintly on the other side. Alice looks at her curiously before Sarah nods with a smile. A shy smile on Alice's face before the door unlocks again. Captain Turid stepping in...

Sarah jumps from the wall and asks, "What are you doing here...?"

"My job..." He snaps back, "I hope Alice did hers..."

"Yes, she told me Prince John will be ready within the hour." Sarah lies, thankful his gaze is directed elsewhere towards a pile of scrolls on the desk and not her nervous lip quivering.

Looking up at her he says, "Is there something you aren't telling me...?"

Her mind screaming with worry, Sarah remains stone faced. "Yes, I certainly don't appreciate being your 'guest'..."

Smiling, Turid adds, "I knew that... what I mean is..." Stepping closer, "It's quite the coincidence that you arrive the same night your Cousin Aria attacks my men..."

"Maybe your escorts were careless..." She snaps back.

"Perhaps..." He says with a smile, "I hope for your sake that's the truth. I know how... ambitious... you royals can get..."

Stepping out into the doorway, Turid points at Sarah and snaps at the guards, "Keep an eye on the princess... she's up to something." The guards eye each other with confusion before one closes and locks the door.

"Pardon me Captain... but isn't she the deaf girl...?" One of them asks.

Pausing for a moment, Turid looks at the guard with a pensive stare. A smile forming on his face as he replies, "Yes... the deaf girl..."

Stepping down the hall alone, he mutters to himself, "Well that was... unexpected..."
