"You chose the right moment to wake up, little thing. Keep an eye out for me, will you? Can't let them see us, I think they don't know we escaped yet." He keeps his voice low, barely above a rumbling whisper, vibrating deeply in his chest. He leans against the wall, taking slow deep breaths, concentrating on whatever he can hear. Clattering of metal on metal, heavy leather boots on stone floors... And the soft, regular breathing of the girl in his arms.
He shakes his head, trying to clear his mind, trying to concentrate on the important bits. Metal on metal, boots on stone.. And he can't tell if they are coming closer or walking away.
