"There's no time to explain," he says, before Sansa can start to ask any questions.
Alistair reaches out to grab Sansa by the wrist, but within seconds he realizes there's no way that she's going to be able to keep pace. Within seconds, he hoists her into her arms and sprints forward.
"We're going to meet with--" Alistair realizes then that he never caught the other man's name "Someone else," he supplies. "At the end of this corridor. We're going to fight the Darkspawn off, so don't worry. You just need to worry about staying out of their way. I don't want to see you getting hurt. Or anyone, actually."
But especially Alayne.
Alistair quickly glances over his shoulder as they approach the end of the corridor; these Darkspawn are quicker than he remembers -- or else, he's getting slower.
