They were carving a path to the Nobles' District, and Flame kept his ears and eyes open. It seemed that all paths converged on the Vertti household - It seemed they'd make their last stand there. As he reunited with Alistair, Flame noted the presence of Chieko and Aerith - So the Witches [i]did[/i] save the latter after all. But that paled compared to the current priority - Making sure that the Demon Beasts did not eat the crowd of civilians with them!

Looking at Grisaia and Mistress Vertti, Flame said, "If you two are worried about your home, please lead the refugees there to prepare for a last stand! We'll hold back the Demon Beasts!"

Alistair, Aerith, and Chieko were presumably already fighting the monstrous wolves - it's not like Demon Beasts would give them time to give a speech before fighting. So Flame dove right in, launching a football-sized fireball at the flank of one of the wolves and making sure that said fireball was hot and forceful enough [i]to[/i] give him time to get a few words in. And so he did, with Flame saying, "You guys! Glad to see you're all right!" 

He then looked at Aerith and Chieko, avoiding eye contact with the latter as that'd be disrespectful to a Japanese person. Then he said, "A certain murderer will be bringing help. If we can last long enough, he'd find allies to hew his way to us."

Then Flame rolled away from the next attack by the wolf or wolves, dodging their moves as he threw a spray of fireballs at their approximate eye area.
