Shayla lay a hand on Gemini's arm, trying to calm this kitsune. "I...I do agree with what you say, but it may be for the best to let the guards do as they say." She sent a sharp glare to the guard who had spoken so harshly before. "However, do not think we will leave. You will take this individual before the council for a proper judgement and we will be called upon. It is rash to make judgements about people, is it not? A different fighter may have just run their blade through their enemy, but then where would we be, not knowing who we went against? A different fighter would be dead."

After a long moment of staring each of the guards down, she stepped back, pulling Gemini along with her. The fountain left them yards away from the guards and their previous opponent, but she knew they could close that distance again if need be. The guards had their reasons for acting tough though. No one knew what they dealt with and the air still carried a sense of unease. Glancing up, she saw that the portal still cut through the sky. And the mask....just touching it made her feel wrong. She tucked it into her skirts regardless, because she certainly wouldn't let anyone else have it.

The stranger who fell from the portal looked no less confused as the guards surrounded him, binding ropes around his wrist. He didn't resist, but whatever conversation the guards murmured didn't carry over the crowd's murmur. Just before the guards led him away though, he glanced over his shoulder, white eyes wide and imploring at the two by the fountain. Then he was gone, dragged away into the crowd.
