Gallus snapped his head to look at Ri'vashi at the cry of alarm and his eyes caught the attacker's blade. He did not pretend to know the nature of Ri'vashi's sword as it flashed seemingly out of nowhere, but he wasted no time kicking the dagger away as soon as it clattered to the ground. The attacker was apparently incapacitated and in pain, though Gallus did not assume as much. He shot out an arm and grabbed the man in the neck with enough force to throw him back onto the ground, pinning him.

By this point, the rest of the group had caught up with the situation. It was a relief to see that no one but the assailant was hurt, but it was so sudden as to be a shock. They circled around the man, while a couple of others kept close to Meesei and peered around the crowd, looking for any other potential attackers.

"Looks like we found another," Gallus commented, looking wide-eyed at the man's face. "Is everyone alright?" Gallus hazarded a glance up to Ri'vashi, giving her sword another look. "Is this one of the impostor's companions?"
