There's something familiar about the screaming, enough so that when Alistair rounds the row of tents and wooden barricade in search of the source and sees a flash of red-brown hair, he knows who the source is—and that's good. Because the cause is Cade. And if it were a stranger or someone not-Beleth on the ground, Alistair might give him the benefit of the doubt long enough to cause hesitation.

He doesn't hesitate, now—swordless, shieldless, but he's still in his armor, at least, and a significantly bigger man than Cade, so slamming into him with one shoulder at a run before he can fully unsheathe his sword isn't the worst plan.
