the man gets close to solaire before saying in a low voice as he takes hold of his collar, hauling him close enough so only he'd here "your men will be screwed and there as a diversionary tactic. they will die repeatedly even with you there and they will die uselessly if i'm not there. however, she needs you right now more than you're needed for this fight. if you'd have a problem with that you can shove it up your ass while you take care of her". the man lets go of him before turning to the soldiers, saying "alright, get your shit and start moving. i'll set up the bonfire" in an even tone, drawing his sword before leaving to set up the bonfire at about 4 miles away from dark side
