Cohen chases after Rhys, slamming the door shut behind him, separating him from the man he has a lot more words for but understands the predicament he is now in, Cohen could easily be locked up as well and with the way the king was looking, he is surprised that he isn't. He shouts down the corridor at Rhys. He saw the way that Rhys defended Ve, and it is obvious from viewing them together in the fight ring that they have a special bond. If he failed her so catastrophically before, now he can only hope to offer his services to the person best placed to help Ve.
"I can help you, I can protect you while she is away"
Rhys pauses but doesn’t turn back. He still has no idea who this man is, and he is too focused on his task to even care. His voice is bland as he replies.
"I don’t need help"
