[The question echoed painfully in Arrakis's soul and his eyes instantly flared brighter as his expression twisted into a look of anguish. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. When he finally found his voice it was raw with guilt.]
It's not enough.
[It never was and the violent flickering of his eyes steadied as he ran away from that awful truth and locked his heart behind his resolve as a mage. His voice sounded cold when he spoke again.]
I'll do what I can. Now where is she?
[His questions sounded harsher this time. He didn't have time for this.]
[Arrakis turned to leave as soon as Adam showed him which direction but something made him stop. The fierce glow in his eyes softened as he turned back to him.]
I can take you somewhere safe first if you want.
[He wouldn't blame Adam if he wanted nothing more to do with him. It's why he didn't give him his name. Still, if stopping Night Sky kept her from harming anyone else then Arrakis would gladly take those consequences. It wouldn't be the first time he had blood on his hands. Better him than Night Sky.]

[He reaches for some kind of answer. There isn’t one.]
Can’t you guys hold her off whilst someone tries to find something? You’re powerful, right?
[What’s the point of all this magic if it can’t save her?]

…No, it’s fine.
[He finds it easy to dismiss his offer, even though he’s rather scared shitless right now.]
She needs you more.

Find somewhere safe then.
[With that last word of warning he ran alongside the dragon and used the wind's momentum to leap into the air and disappear into the sky.]
