[He twists around at the sound of her voice. He thinks at first it's someone in trouble, or worse; he can't make out what she's saying, just shouting. (He assumes, for the moment, that it's because she's too far away to hear properly, beneath the snarls of the shadow creatures and the roaring blood in his ears.)
It takes him a few precious seconds to pinpoint her in the window, but it's worth it. Even if he can't understand her, the message is clear enough: climb up, get out.]
Well. That'll do.
[He hasn't got the luxury to weigh his options. The not-darkspawn is slowly turning into a horde of not-darkspawn, and at least he knows he can take a person down, permanently, if it comes to that. The way these things keep disintegrating and re-forming, it's hardly even a choice.
The next step is beating a retreat without getting a shadow sword in the back.
He starts backing toward the building she's in, and swings one arm over his head to flag that he's seen her. His weapon needs two hands; he can only waste so much time.]
Let it down! I'll come to you!
[He just needs a minute to shake off the closest of these beasties. No point in any of this if he ends up bringing the fight to her.]
