At first Devero freezes with indecision as the three identical girls rush him. He doesn't want to fight a child, especially not a child with preternatural powers and double-especially not a child who's not in control of her own mind--
A child who he first met carrying a gun. A child who's holding that knife like she knows how to use it. A dangerous child-- three dangerous children right now. (Damn it, why didn't he ask Koumyou how her abilities worked?!)
--His hesitation lasts only a moment. Then old Guard training kicks in and he dodges away from the initial rush of the three Buttercups, putting his long limbs and larger size to good use. He grabs for the knife hand of the nearest one with intent to disarm.
"He was not!" he protests while he's moving. "He was miserable! Couldn't you see it?"
