"I wouldn't knowingly let anything hurt him." Even though it was said to Roland that didn't mean he was the true recipient.

Matilda has to leave to take care of Aelious around this time so I doubt they've been held up." And that was a blessing. Even Nariko was ready to go back and, after being sure Alain really was fine, she would probably drop herself into bed again.
