Rue glanced casually at the assassin's approach, using the incident as an excuse to put the ever-confusing phenomena of emotions concerning the gunman and the old theurge out of her mind. She stared the man down, arms crossed over her chest. If she had sensed any true malice from the man she might have shown a more concerned reaction - though she certainly wouldn't have thrown herself in front of the arrow, or anything quite so silly as that. A quick glance into the man's thoughts, however, forced a quick laugh from her lips. She said nothing, but covered her mouth with one hand to hide a knowing smile.

She addressed the old man without looking at him, "It is too bad, then, that you will not have the chance to find out." Not for the first time, she turned to leave, and despite her apparent concern for the man earlier, she seemed not to care whether Lev followed or not.
