But when you do find the scout, does that scout return if the noble who sent it was a realm mate?
Sure, I will return the tortured cripple to my realm mate, I'm sure he will be happy to have him back. We nobles have such a great history of caring for peasants that can no longer serve in a useful capacity

Captured scouts so far as I know are never returned, be they from an enemy realm, neutral realm, allied realm or realm mate.
