As soon as she could get enough room to maneuver, Ahnasha fell into a sprint to reach the non-combatants, motivated in particular by the need to get Rhazii to safety. Since this corridor was isolated from the part of the ruin which the hunters occupied, there was no chance they could reach him without breaking through their defenses, but she wanted to give the non-combatants as much of a head start as possible. The fortified gate would hold them off for a time, but they could still go back and retrieve their ram, so they would not remain safe for long. 

Once Ahnasha ran through the door into the chamber with the clan's non-combat members, her presence immediately grabbed their attention, though her rushed pace and attitude did not serve to encourage them. "Everyone, listen! We are holding as best as we can, but we may need to fall back to here, so we need you to retreat deeper into the ruin. Find somewhere to hide, or another exit, if possible. Hurry!" She shouted, though as she yelled, she scanned the room for Rhazii, eventually finding him in the arms of Sabine. She could not help but to run up to them to check on him, though she was not sure what else she could do, as she had to get back to the fight in order to keep him, and everyone else, protected. 

"Is everything alright? Has Rhazii been okay?" Ahnasha asked Sabine almost frantically, but it was Kaleeth that spoke up first. She had been in near constant thought since she had hidden away in this room with the rest of the non-combatants, and those thoughts had done nothing to calm her mind. She had been filled with nothing but regret for leaving the fighting to the others, and now it seemed like they were losing. How many had died so far while she stayed here and did nothing? That worry had been building since she first agreed to hide, and now it was overwhelming her to the breaking point. 

"I...I can't stay here Ahnasha. I have to help; I have to fight. I'm not going to hide anymore." Kaleeth said. She tried to remain firm, but her faltering tone betrayed her fears. 

"Kaleeth, you're being helpful here. Just keep Rhazii safe, and everyone else here. We can hold off the hunters." Ahnasha responded.

For a few moments, Kaleeth was silent. She looked to the other side of the room, towards the door leading deeper into the ruin which some of the others were already opening. She almost looked like she was about to accept Ahnasha's advice, but then she thought of all the others that were fighting the hunters. As she had been waiting here, she had been overhearing the conversations between some of the others in the room. Many had friends and packmates that were up near the entrance holding the line, and they were all fearing for their lives. It was a thought that Kaleeth could hardly stand, and one that made her decision for her. 

"No! I'm not hiding! If you want someone to keep them safe, then...you do it. I'm going to help fight!" Kaleeth yelled. Immediately, she stormed off out the door Ahnasha had entered through, not intent on being stopped. Ahnasha was speechless, and uncertain on what to do. She did not know if the non-combatants were going to face any dangers in the deep parts of the ruins, but she did not like the idea of leaving Rhazii. Not to mention, her bow was not all that useful in the tight corridors.

Letting out a sigh, Ahnasha shook her head, then looked down to Sabine. "Don't worry, I'll stay with you...help protect you all."
