[He's never managed to fire a laser, either. That was a big oops. But honestly? It was pretty cool. Will he even be able to replicate that later?!
These are the thoughts his brain is coming up with instead of an actual plan, because it would seem the intelligent portion of his mind has given up on him for being an idiot loser and just gone right to sleep. Kadoc doesn't even look at Fujimaru as he answers her, in a dull monotone, still gripping onto Gareth without any cognizance that he's doing so. (He's lucky he's not grabbing onto anywhere suggestive; he wouldn't even notice until he got to be mortified over it later. Safe!) He's looking at the approaching bouncers, his mind spinning . . . spinning . . . this mission has been a complete failure . . . spinning . . . still loading, huh.
There's no way out of this—
Wait, though. Here are the facts:
1. There's no way out of this. 2. He's grabbing onto Gareth. Apparently? His brain is still catching up, but he's still clinging onto her. 3. There's no way out of this. 4. If there is no way out of this, the only way forward is to just own the fact that they're the center of attention now. 5. Gareth is also a knight. 6. ???functioning lightsaber???
Okay. Sure. This is not really a Plan B, or C, or even D, but it's what he's got: Kadoc hisses at Ritsuka under his breath.]
You find the others and get them outta here.
[And then drags himself to his feet, one hand still gripping Gareth's arm, and the other . . . producing a functioning lightsaber.
Kadoc's Light magic is very good by now, and doing this isn't above his abilities, the way the accidental laser had been. He's just never tried it, because he doesn't fucking know how to use a sword, so what good would it do to practice forming one out of hard light? It's not going to help him out in a pinch to suddenly have a sword if he can't use a sword. But right now, he doesn't need to use a sword. He just needs to be an asshole. And that he can manage.
He brandishes the lightsaber (it's blue) at the bouncers:]
Get the hell back! I'm here to free this knight from your perverted clutches!
