Aust was last to make it into the building and down the stairs, and by the time he made it Juna was already pulling Annara away from the knight. On the floor a bit behind them all was a man in the garb of a Viceni mage, clearly unconscious. In the middle of it all were Lothren and the knight, one with a firearm leveled at the other in order to discourage any hostile movement. All in all, it was an interesting scene. Aust wasn't sure who was in more danger at that point; the Ytharien, the knight, or Alonso's disguise.

Juna seemed to have a handle on Annara, and Lothen had the knight under control for the moment, so Aust paced slowly around them all the check on the mage. Aside from being severely battered and bruised, presumably from the knight's tirade he had heard a few moments before, but would live without any attention. If not for the fact that he would be stranded and alone in a building with a the potential to be destroyed if others fell on it, the Viceni would have eventually woken up and recovered from the probable concussion in due time. Under the circumstances, however, it seemed unwise to simply leave him be.

Now that Juna was addressing the knight, Aust turned to their leader. He had given his instructions as to the knight, but hadn't said anything about the mage, or about what would happen when Alan saw them returning with a knight in tow.

[color=silver]"What about this one? He's out for now, and will be for a while, but I don't think we can just leave him. It's obvious he's a Magus. If he wakes up to the village empty and destroyed, he might get it in his head to track us down for some revenge. Could be a real threat. Beside that, it doesn't feel right. We got everyone else out as safely as we could. Who knows what could happen to this one before he stirs?"[/color] Aust said, speaking from where he knelt at the unconscious man's side. He carried his longknife bare in his right hand, the sharp tip pointed in the general direction of the knight in case things got exciting again. The elf's eyes flicked between his companions and the two strangers, trying to pay attention to the whole situation at once.
