It takes Devero a couple of seconds to figure out what Genjo's doing, mostly because he's not used to chanting preceding magic. Sure, academically he knows that most of the magic-users in Koumyou's world need to chant mudras to cast their spells, but he's only ever actually seem Koumyou fight.

But he gets it, and when he gets it, he falls almost gratefully into a familiar role: defend.

Before he can start that, though, he's going to have to risk making Genjo really mad: he shoulders the priest bodily back from the lip of the cloven alley as he's starting to chant, and puts out a hand. "Give me your gun," he demands.
