Aleigh backs up, watching Jamie. "What if I just walk away? You can walk back in there or do anything that isn't stabbing me. I don't feel like dying, and I don't feel like being imprisoned again, so..." Every step away is slow as he watches Jamie, waiting to see what the reaction is.
Alistair's Cleanse gets another horrified noise out of Javion as he's backed into a corner. There's nothing he can do; he's too old to do the fancy staff-twirling and swinging of someone younger. As the vines twirl around his ankles and yank, Javion tries to catch himself with his staff, which means that he doesn't have the time to block Ciri's blade. It drives through him; he's dead before he hits the ground.
The Cleanse also hit Vidal; the swarm drops from the air to become her again and she scoots backward.
"Sh-sh-she's dead, isn't she." Kian's refusing to look at Ashton's body or even anyone, for that matter, head in his hands.
"No one's screaming," Vidal says as a sort of answer. She's keeping her own head down, but mostly because she has no idea what happens now.
