[ despite rhus approaching with purpose, parado doesn't budge. the smile drops in favour of a curious tilt to the head, and as the cat-eared man gestures to his entirety, he places a hand on his chest. he really doesn't seem to be understanding - rhus got annoyed at him first, wasn't it fair to have an attitude?
but he notices the shake in rhus's hands, then, and he's about to make a comment when the hunters appear. parado hadn't heard them, and he makes a low, impressed whistle at rhus's reaction and... action.
unsure whether assisting would be smart right now or just get him caught in rhus's attacks, parado hangs back awkwardly. at least, until he sees the second hunter level his weapon. ]
Look out-! [ a second later, he realises that rhus's reflexes would have been enough to avoid the shot. but parado throws the shield up anyway, knocking the man off-balance. ]
