Oh, he hates this. Whatever the older sali's issue is, he doesn't seem to be listening to anything anyone else has to say - he's just attacking. It's shades of home, in the worst way possible.
But Ryo isn't helpless here. He draws a knife from his satchel - because the wind won't respond to him here, but that doesn't mean he can't defend himself - and moves to put himself between the older sali and the younger one, glancing over his shoulder at her. "If there's a safe way out of here, take it." He's inclined to believe the child being attacked over the adult doing the attacking; hopefully that belief is well-placed and she's not about to stab him in the back.
His gaze flickers back to Jingyi, then at the older sali. Hopefully Jingyi is ready to fight, because it's looking like they'll need to. Hopefully they can handle whatever the older sali throws at them. Hopefully.
