A knights honour (unedited)

KARA'S POV

"Aldric?" I said his name in surprise as he let go of my arm. My eyes welled up with emotion. "How? Where did you come... when did you get here? " I asked him as a wave of relief came over me.

"Are you hurt?" he asked me in a brusque manner as he inspected me before letting my arm go.

"No," I replied shaking my head. "Was it you who threw the sword?" I asked him.

He didn't answer as he put a finger to his lips indicating he wanted me to be quiet. I already had my answer though, as the sheath at his waist was empty. Aldric moved past me and looked around the area very carefully as if he was scanning it.

 "There's four of them," I heard him whisper to himself. He then turned to me. "How many assailants are there?" he asked.

"There are 4 left," I told him confirming his correctly predicted number. 

"They're close," he said.
