He had to remind himself of who the girl was, otherwise he would be acting quite differently, probably hitting the girl for what she said to him. He had more then enough of her accusations, but at the same time, dealing with her in a way that he would use for anyone else was impossible. Celeste was the last link he had that connected him to his previous life. She represented everything he had a few days ago, and had lost right now; without the princess, and without a goal to keep going ahead, Talhad would quickly burden himself with his loss. Gritting his teeth, he took a few steps towards Celeste. Infuriating or not, her hair had to go.
"I'm not trying to ridicule you" he said softly, though his eyes were cold and he was obviously hurt by her words. "But making sacrifices now will help you restore what you had lost, at least a part of it." He tried to avoid talking about the king and the queen. They were dead, and if fate was cruel enough, so was Celeste's brother, but Talhad couldn't be sure about that. The boy wasn't stupid and thanks to his lessons he was able to fight, so there was always some hope he managed to run away and hide somewhere. Maybe later they'll have to search for him as well, but not now. Talhad moved slightly to the side, blocking the entrance of the cave. He had little to no idea what Celeste could do, but letting her escape wasn't going to be an option. He was perfectly fine with her being mad at him, and not interested in running after her in the woods.
