[He's not sure what he's more surprised over-- that the people in this memory were actually acknowledging him, or that this grease-ball of a professor was this blase about him wielding a weapon. It wasn't in his nature to ignore a teacher, even if it wasn't one of his own, but this particular man's tone bothered him so much that he makes a point not to follow his orders. Like hell he was putting away his sword now, not while someone else was in danger.
Gritting his teeth, he moves forward a few steps, but then the more dim-witted of the two adults comes forward, making things go from bad to worse. It happens so suddenly that he can barely get the sword in front of him in defense, his arm tense in anticipating the creature's strike. Could he be able to cut it down, before it got to him? Who knew.
But before they could find out, the dark haired boy shoulders his way in front of him, much to Xiaolang's horror.]
No, DON'T--!
[And then the other boy........ starts hissing. Like he expects the snake to actually understand him. And the craziest bit is, it seems like it's working, in some weird way or another. His arm starts to lower, unsure if the threat was really neutralized, but willing to hope.]
