[ there is hardly time to appreciate their reunion, for all but immediately her brother is swept away, up into the spindly, myriad arms of a terrible creature, torn from her grasp and spirited away with a sharp cry. alisaie gasps sharply, reaching blindly into the space alphinaud so recently occupied, but it is no use. already the creature is scurrying down the corridor and away from her. ]
Alphinaud, please -
[ this is what she had wanted. what she asked for. and yet it still sunders her heart to have him pulled from her so suddenly, so quickly, that chance at goodbye barely a chance at all. ]
