Aliseth's mind was still muddy and he was slow to react to what was happening around him as he contemplated heavily on the recent events. Weighed down by indecision he did nothing as he watched Lord Coswain disappear from sight before slowly turning his gaze back to the priestess. His eyes were pulled down back to the headless corpse once again. He couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt and responsibility as he look over his former friend, if only he had done things differently, or been quicker. 
He couldn't allow himself to dwell on such things. It easily could have been him lying there on the floor without a head. Who was he to question the cruel machinations of fate.
He had little option but to get up and get on with it.

Taking a deep breath he lift his head and found the priestesses eyes. Looking into them, seeing them in a way he never used to be able to. Almost looking through them. He spoke softly. 
[Colour=goldenrod]"You're going to be ok. I, I have to keep going."[/colour] He spoke with heavy assurance and confidence but his words seemed to be more for his own benefit than hers.
With that said the guard chose his direction and head off alone into the endless night, pulling out a rag or strip of clothing and attempting to clean his hands as he walked, following a line of torchlight.
