Thomas smirked, and just hold a stare on Lexine for a few moments, before taking a step forward, and slightly leaning down to eye level with her, mere inches from the face of the small, but spunky, girl. Thomas looked into Lexine's eyes, taking a moment to appreciate her attitude and determination, "Thank you for the cooperation, and as promised I won't tell any Order of the Thistle knights." Thomas said, in a soft voice, as he leaned his face towards Lexine, slowly. Thomas' face suddenly took on a serious visage, and he stopped leaning in, and in that moment his hands shot up towards Lexine's throat, attempting to wrap his hands around her throat, to strangle her. At the same time, Thomas lunged forward, with a quick first step. It was unlikely Lexine was expecting either one of these moves, and Thomas knew it. He could overpower the girl easily, due to his size and build. There was also no escape for the girl, as she had no idea where they key was located, or even if there was a key.
