Swallowing his fears and worries, he made his presence known to the guards. The response he received was immediate and very subtle; they shifted their feet slightly. Although the movement seemed insignificant and nothing else about the guards suggested hostility, its purpose was to ready themselves in case they needed to attack. All things considered, this reaction was a good sign. Now he just had to hope the situation doesn't deteriorate into violence.
“Excuse me, can you tell us where this is? You see, we were-”
The older, more gruff of the two guards quickly cut him off. “Be at ease, young man. We have no intention of bringing harm to you or the lady. I know you have many questions about your current predicament, but I'm afraid to inform you that I cannot answer them in a satisfactory matter. However, do not fret. There are other soldiers within the camp who are more than capable of answering your inquires.” Go bother someone else. I'm not getting paid to babysit.
“Wait, we can go in? Just like that?”
This time the younger guard responded. “That's right. These campgrounds serve as neutral ground. Everyone is welcome.” Especially beautiful women. Dammit, I wish I wasn't on duty right now. Maybe I can find her latter tonight...
Sorry this took so long

“I see.”
That went surprisingly well.
