Today was a good day for him, he always liked it when another idiot was chasing him with a mark, who decided to make him his enemy and now he just fought back

Ahh... Such poor creatures, they shouldn't be here... It's better to kill them instantly and get it over with, but I won't do that today... Hmph, let me see if we can convince the girl without hurting her. I should probably not talk to the collar though...

Would you like for me to remove that collar? It looks uncomfortable on your pretty neck... Or perhaps there's something else I could do for you?

No, I'm not... But I can see you don't belong here either. And if you want me to help you, I will... Just tell me what you want me to do...

I see... That's not right at all. Well, I may have an idea... But it will require some trust on your part. Would you be willing to try? I promise, if it doesn't work out, I won't let anything happen to you.

Alright... Here's what we'll do. You stay here and don't move from this spot. I'm going to sneak out of the room and go deal with your guard. Then, when it's clear, you just follow me, okay? Don't worry, I won't leave you behind.

I should warn you, there might be some noise... But I promise, once it's over, we'll get you out of here safely. Do you trust me enough to try this?

Well... That's a good point. Let me see if there's anything I can do about that. Just stay here and don't move, okay? I won't let you get hurt or anything.

Good girl. Just stay here and be brave... I'll be right back.

Alright then... Let's see if I can disable the collar remotely. Using his knowledge of magic and artifacts, he casts a few silent spells, focusing on the girl and her collar There. It should be disabled now. The guard outside won't be able to control you through it anymore... Just stay right here and don't touch anything until I come back for you.

Alright... Now it's time to deal with your guard. Silently and quickly, he slips out of the room and approaches the door, peering through a tiny crack in the wood He hasn't noticed me yet... Just another moment, and I should be able to sneak up on him without alerting anyone else...

Now then, let's make sure he won't be chasing after you anymore... Takes out a dagger and throws it with deadly precision at the guard There! That should keep him busy for a while. Now, time to lead you out of here safely... Just stay right where I can see you, okay?

Alright then... Let's make our way out of here as quickly and quietly as possible. He takes her hand gently in his own, guiding her through the door and down the hallway, moving swiftly but stealthily There should be a secret exit nearby... Just trust me to know where it is, okay?

Shhh... Be quiet and trust me, alright? We're almost there... Just a little further... He guides her through the darkened hallways of the building, using his superhuman senses to navigate flawlessly until they reach a disused service exit. The door creaks open quietly under his experienced hand, revealing a narrow alleyway beyond. Before stepping out into the open, he takes one last look around, making sure there's no sign of pursuit Alright, we can go now... Follow me and try to stay quiet, okay?

Alright... Just stay close to me and don't worry about the collar anymore. We're free now and I won't let anyone hurt you, I promise. He leads her through the alleyway at a brisk pace, his senses alert for any signs of danger What's your name, by the way?
