The laughter tapers off. The soldiers look at him uncertainly, as if trying to decide if he's for real and, if so, whether they should have heard that name before. Finally, Longnose gives a smile, a nod, and raises his hands.

"Our mistake, milord," he says, motioning for his mates to follow him to the door. "We didn't know the little bitch sucked important cock."

That gets one last titter from the soldiers before they're out the door. Colin follows them far enough to close the door behind them and lock it. That done, he sinks against it for support, trembling badly.

"I can't believe that worked," he gasps. "I can't believe you..."

Oh, and now he's sitting hard on the floor and hyperventilating. Fun.
