Ajax rubbed his eyes as the scenery change took place. Huh. Well that was something else. The guards suddenly reacting and poking their pikes at him was too. What the crap kind of guards used pikes anyway, those were unwieldy and meant to be used en-masse, whatever range advantage they gave the wielder was completely useless in a small numbers situation if the dude looking at the sharp end could fight worth a damn or was carrying a shield. And why did he know these things? Well, whatever, more pressing matters to attend to. "Aren't y'all over-reacting? I'm unarmed, you know. Y'all didn't seem to give a crap about the plants five seconds ago". He slowly raised his arms, not high and wide but to the sides of his head, fingers relaxed and semi-closed. And then shots were fired. "Hey, cowboy, if they try to kill us I can fight back right? You did call dibs n all".
