Fionn rushes forward to help pull her clear.
"Someone grab the idiot and get him clear!"
He shouts.

Fionn's eyes snap open and he jumps, drawing a knife. Luckily he realises where he is before he can do anything with said knife. "Sarah?"
-
"You were having night terrors... I tried to calm you down... Sorry for startling you."
-
He resheaths the knife. "Thanks for wakin' me." He smiles sheepishly, then looks confused. Was tha'... Irish you were speakin'?"
-
"It was," She replied.
-
He smiles. "I 'avent heard anyone speak Irish since before I was a Guardian."
-
"I've visited the city a lot. And I've picked up many languages. Irish just happened to be one of them," She said. [spoiler]There's an irony behind this I want to discuss in PM[/spoiler]
-
He nods, holding his cloak close around him to ward off the mountain air. "I ain't seen the city in a long time..."
-
"I miss it..." Sarah says, "I want to go home, and take these murderous robots with us back to our system."
-
"Aye, so do I... I wonder how my sister's getting 'long without me."
-
She turns away from Fionn for a few seconds, "At least yours is still alive."
-
He looks concerned. "Did sonethin' happen to Mia?"
-
She broke down, crying.
-
Fionn reaches over to hug her. "I'm so, so sorry..."
-
She hugs him, crying on his shoulder.
-
He gently rocks her back and forth, holding her close.
-
"Finny..." She cried, "I miss her."
-
He keeps her close. "I'm so sorry, love."
-
"Finny?" She asked.
-
"Yes?" He asks, still holding her.
-
"Don't die permanently like Mia did... please?"
-
"I promise ya I won' be leavin ya."
-
She looked up into his eyes, "I don't want to lose you..."
-
He gently brushes her cheek with his thumb. "You don' have ta worry 'bout me, love. I ain't goin to leave ya. Promise."
-
"Fionn, I'm glad I have you..." She says.
-
"An' I'm glad I 'ave you, Sarah." He replies with a smile.
