Any and all positive feelings, no matter how shortlived or apparently deserved, must come to a swift end. After all, it was a nigh impossibility for Jude to do anything right. His slick move of weighing the fluffy-haired girl's blade down seemed to have worked, for about a second. Jude did not notice the small girl clutching at the woman very close [i]to[/i] said blade. Frozen, Jude could only watch as Penny narrowly avoided dragging the little girl down into the sand with her. She fell over the railing face-first into the beach proper, propelling dust up which got into Jude's eyes. As he rubbed that all out, he saw the girl lightly groaning into the ground, apparently unable to move. 

"Oh, no no no, oh my god I'm so sorry, god I'm such an idiot. Damn moron..." Jude mumbled to himself, hopping over the railing (a bit of a strain for his nonathletic body type) and joining the woman's little serfs in helping her-- though Jude's aid was actually more helpful for once. He dragged the dull, heavy blade off of her neck, careful not to nick her, while [i]finally[/i] a security guard responded. Maybe if someone qualified had appeared earlier, he wouldn't have almost hurt a little kid or suffocated a young woman!

"I saw someone waving a sword around so I tried to help. I didn't, really but... Whatever can we just..." Jude groused, finally finagling the blade off of the woman's neck. At that point he returned it to its original state, and laid it gently down on the sand. In between panting breaths Jude noticed something odd, and abandoned the last half-baked sentence for one more concrete. "Hey, there was another two people, a boy and a girl, my age. Where'd they go?"
