Alistair finds himself wishing quite desperately that he had gotten that other man's name before racing down one of the corridors. Maybe then he'd have something to shout out as they reached the end of the corridor.

But he doesn't have a name. Instead he yells out, "Hey!" And then, even more stupidly: "You there yet?"

And then before he can hear Sandor's reply, they reach the end of it; immediately Alayne is set down and Alistair moves into a fighting position -- feeling very naked without both his armor and sword.
