That's what I was wondering. He obviously is very protective of Ruby, and when he was explaining what happened during her unconsciousness, she had literally just come out of a coma. He probably didn't want to say more than he had to. Perhaps the silver-eyed warriors are the Winter Maidens. Silver is a wintry color, and the Maidens are extremely powerful, so it's reasonable to guess that she is the Winter Maiden.
