(Lucretia, who had received a swift but viscous elbow to the gut in response to ridding their assailant of his gun, isn't much help for the next couple of seconds. The sound of another shot going off startles her into action again; she loops her arm around his neck from behind and pulls him back off balance, all the while having no idea what she's doing–
Taako is pointing the gun up and Lucretia feels a sharp stab of panic hit her. She jerks him to the side a bit anyway, even though Taako's shot goes purposefully wide.)
Don't kill him, (she pants. Thankfully, the guy has gone quite still in her grip, his hands lifted up weakly in front of his chest, palms out.) We just got here, we don't even know what's going on.
(Why is she treating this like a cycle, like they have some kind of diplomacy to uphold until they figure out the situation? Probably because she has nothing else to fall back on right now. It's probably a good thing the man's attention is focused entirely on Taako and the gun, because he could definitely break her grip easily if he chose to.)
