"No," Alistair says. Maybe if the blood is cut off long enough they'll have to amputate it anyway.
That earns him a look. "Innocent people are dying. I am disappointed in both of you." More in Alistair, her glare indicates, but she should know—she should remember tromping halfway across Ferelden to persuade mages to save a possessed boy, Blight on pause and destruction of Redcliffe risked. Scaling the Frostbacks in search of a myth because Alistair made sure—however unintentionally—that the fate of Thedas depended on Eamon's survival. If he were given a clear choice, Zevran or all of Thedas, he couldn't choose Zevran. But if there's a way to believe he can have both—
"You're going to kill him," Alistair says, sounding small and tired even to his own ears. Corypheus would have taken it.
