Alexander had continued his work right up until the ship landed and it was time to leave. Throwing on a simple brown cloak he had followed the others to the bar. Taking in the full scenery before him. It was downright comforting to see that the town and its people didn't lead vastly different lives. Points of commonality were always important in these situations. 

Inside the bar he had swiftly ordered drinks for himself and the commander. Before they arrived however a group of mages decided to give everyone else a bad name. He had been content to sit back and mostly let this play out due to the commander's orders. That lasted right up until one of his charges was threatened.

"I think I understand the situation just fine. Allow me to apologize for the actions of my comrades." As he spoke he made a small motion to hopefully signal the students to look away.

Right after he stood up in an apparent motion to find something of value, he instead created a blinding flash of light meant to disorient but not harm. Using a laser to cut the head off the spear.
