What happened after that?

Tensions hit their peak. Someone finally had enough, and against all odds, raised their arm to strike me. Quick witted as he was, the scholar stopped that man. First time in all his interaction with us that wasn’t purely an attempt to be friendly. He grabbed his wrist, stopping him from bringing it down on me, and tried to bring to his attention that he was about to hit a kid. They all got upset that he had laid a hand on one of our own, though. Immediately called for the government to take some form of action. They swarmed both of us, pinned us down, and in a strange form of angry mob citizen’s arrest, dragged us both to officials to have him tried for assault and me for fostering criminal activity.
