When Gyre turns his back on the Protector, he starts following him from behind in a more casual pose. He doesn't need to be ready to strike, especially not with Gyre looking like he's on the edge of death. He follows him all the way to the room, and then narrows his eyes when Gyre comes back out.

"He will be tended to." He states, simply, followed with a near-emotionless command:

"Stop." But, Gyre being Gyre, he decides he's not going to stop? Well, the Protector knows exactly what to do about that. He rushes forward with his blade held high, bringing it down in an arcing slash very much intended to cleave Gyre in half from shoulder to hip.

Except that there's the horrifying sound of metal against screaming, crackling metal. Standing directly behind Gyre, wielding a glowing blue blade, is Ten. He's locked into a standoff with the Protector's blade, facing away from Gyre with only the back of his shirt visible.

Ten's wearing a T-shirt with big white text on the back:

"Run, stupid."

The front, facing the Protector? Says "You're stupid."
