I tried to get him to leave, before it all began. He couldn't. Not without his sister, Ian, all his nieces and nephews, the people on his land he'd promised to protect as laird... it'd be impossible to uproot everyone, and he was too good a man to abandon them.

[Claire knew it was futile, no matter what they did.]

And he couldn't go through the stones, Bree. I tried that, too. He put a hand on them and nothing happened. It's only ever been me. Me, and Geillis. And... whoever else has the ability, somehow.

[And even then, they might not make it through. Someone was the owner to the screams she hears when she's near the damn stones.]
