Tej isn't terrified yet. Maybe it's some sort of delayed response. Maybe he's just used to adrenalin pumping through his veins, flooding his brain with some sort of immunity to usual risk calculations or danger assessments. Somehow, the idea of running straight into a blood bath, while terrifying, doesn't get him to stop.

He only really realizes what he's going to do, though, when a blonde girl bumps into him and apologizes. He figures people who want to kill him probably won't apologizing for a little elbow-jostling - and that the people who do apologize don't deserve to be killed.

He follows her.

"Keep going, I'll cover your back!" He's serious. "I won't hurt you!"
