Everybody Panic

[failgoyle]

[Sorry, network, you'll never know peace so long as Jules still walks Liminal Space. Have some more screaming.]

There's a Drow here and Zaknafein said they were bad news, and this one's got some kind of MURDERCAT and he just surprised me, and I don't know what I'm gonna do, and he ABSOLUTELY REEKS, this is what death smells like, I am pretty sure this is what death smells like...

BUT I NEED HELP!

No. [Armin's voice is hard, his eyes fierce and his expression determined.] We will not abide violence in our midst. If he offers it, we will stop him. If you offer it, we will stop you as well.

[For all that he is, if not a child, then barely an adult, he sounds certain, confident in his ability to stop either or both of them should the need arise.]

He will offer it, and I will stop it. For the sake of those here, allow him to focus on me.

[neverfeltthatway]

No. You will not kill him.

[hiding_honor_in_darkness]

You do not understand and I do not have the time to explain.

[neverfeltthatway]

I understand more than you might think. Here, it is you that doesn't understand.

I have warned you. Attack him, and I will stop you. [And, because it's fairly obvious the man won't listen anyway, he closes his eyes and taps into Zak's senses, getting ready to pull both him and whoever he attacks into a mind palace at the first sign of trouble.]

-=zak doesn't bother to respond, he's already leaping into action in a very literal sense, though luckily it seems the fight seems to be over before it truly begins=-

[Armin doesn't say anything more, only steeling himself to do what is necessary, and preparing to send a message to Thorne describing what happened and telling her to separate the bodies. Another message would go to Elphaba, since it seems likely she'll discover the scene first.

Thankfully, the fight ends a split second before he takes action, though he watches a few moments longer, just to make sure the danger has passed.]
