"That is true of everyone, both literally and figuratively, I have found. I shall keep watch from the ground, then."
Elizabeth listened quietly while he explained the situation to her, and she yet found herself confused. One, because that name was most definitely French. What were the French doing in the desert in the fifteenth century? Bless her, but Elizabeth, believed that she was back home in her own era. Right up until he mentioned Richard the Lionheart. She gave a visible start, and her surprise this time was visible on her face.
"Richard the Lionheart is the King of England?" Oh, dear. Oh no. Fortune had sent her into the past this time, it seemed. Now, she was fairly certain that Malik would definitely not appreciate learning of her blood tie to Richard. So she said nothing, and followed his train of vision toward the rock outcropping not far from the tower. It hardly appeared safe. Though she was not at all about to infer that he might fall, because he did appear more than capable.
"Very well. Be safe on your ascent." Meanwhile, she would do her best to spot him and keep an eye out for any of those white-robed men he'd mentioned. She had no wish to be ambushed in a land sh was unfamiliar with.
