"I can test the alarm now, set it for a few minutes, just to make sure we have a spell that works at all, but I'm not sure we missed anything else."

"Oh yeah good idea."

"...uh. Anyone have a good rhyme?"

"Alarm bells ring when Time moves fast, something five minutes passed?"

"...Sadde?"

"...does it need to be a rhyme?"

"I'm pretty sure it does, yeah."

"Kero?"

Shrug.

"Hmm, alarm bells ring when time moves fast, wake me when five minutes have passed?"

"Okay. Alistair, you've used a couple of spells, you probably shouldn't use too many more today, right?"

"...I should probably be using my bow, at least."

"Alarm bells ring when Time moves fast, wake me when five minutes have passed."

The spell definitely works. It doesn't seem to do anything immediately, though, appropriately enough.

So they wait.

"Actually, I'm kind of a heavy sleeper. One of you should probably cast it."

"I can do it."

And five minutes later, Scott—

—well he's already awake but he certainly would've woken up had he been asleep.

"Cool. Anything else we're missing?"

"Nothing immediately comes to mind, no."

"Should we go over the plan once, just to make sure everyone has it down?" 

"Okay."

So they do, making sure everything has been decided.

And when they're satisfied, they can each go to their respective places.

...well. Alistair could stay at Sadde's as far as she's concerned...

Maybe not this tonight but he appreciates it.
