The soldier stood too. He picked up his sword and faced Cressida. "Why did you stop me from hitting it?" He asked.

"A sword might leave a visible wound. Lycaon would have known there was someone else here." She said and walked around in the tower to examine it.

The soldier widened his eyes at her. His eyes followed her where she goes. It's the first time for him to see a girl who has guts as well as the brain. He then looked at his hand and thought; who is kind too.
