[ Adam isn't really paying attention. Mostly because he's spent the last twenty minutes frantically trying to call Cabeswater to him, hands muddy and scratched from sharp bark. He knows that it's futile, he knows that it's gone, because the world is gone and yet he has to hope. Ronan had dreamt it back to life, even after everything that happened, had given Adam his power like a crown of leaves, and to lose it again, for less noble reasons than saving his king, has left a sour taste in his throat.
It's possible that he's fixating on the wrong thing, it's possible he's trying to ignore the fact that his friends could be dead.
So he doesn't hear the call, but his daemon does. The mongrel dog reaches for him, teeth in the back of his jeans and Adam trips a little and turns to ask the damn thing what it wants when he sees the man before him. The daemon repeats Alec's words and Adam blinks slowly, then looks to where he was heading. ]

Why? What's over there?
