         Christopher quickly started making his way towards the throne room, as soon as he had gotten the message about the ladies. This did either sound fishy, or there really was nothing to worry about. He wasn't sure what he should think, though; only that the queens safety was first priority, and if she indeed was in danger (which was a possibility, but Christopher did somehow doubt two ladies would put the queen in danger), he would do everything to protect her. After all, the queen was all Christopher had left from... "No!" he snapped at himself, his voice echoing through the corridor. His eyes widened as he realized he had spoken aloud, and a few maids turned around to stare at him in surprise. Flushing inwardly, he carried on towards the throne room, muttering something to himself under his breath as the sounds of his footsteps echoed through the hallway. "I do not have time for this..."

He stepped into the throne room and glanced around, his eyes narrowed as he watched the queen and the ladies. Per automatic, he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and watched them wearily for a moment, before clearing his throat. "Excuse me, ladies... but may I ask; what is going on? Why have you come here in the middle of the night; which does seem very suspicious- no offense," Christopher smiled apologetically as he stood at the queens side.

         Elsebeth looked up at the man who had just come into the throne room ; she took a step away from him instinctively , her eyes fixed on the glint of his sword. Why on earth had she come here? This was ridiculous, since she'd arrived on dry land she'd struggled to speak, struggled to walk and now it looks like she's going to die. Brilliant.

The man said some words that she didn't understand and she shook her head slowly, holding her hands up a little way, trying to show that she couldn't understand. He smiled and Elsebeth smiled nervously back, starting to think that maybe it wouldn't be terrible if she did stay, at any rate she wouldn't be able to run away very fast and they would get her. So she might as well try and talk to him.
