[Kadoc can hear that little exchange, but he makes the firm, conscious decision to just pretend he can't and focus on his own task, which is creating the distraction. If he turns to Ritsuka to address her, tempting as it is, the jig really is up. This will only work if she can slip away from the ensuing mess alone and get the knights out under everyone's noses . . . don't screw this up, Fujimaru!
After all, the chances are already high enough that Kadoc's going to!
At least Gareth is at his side. His first thought had been to take her "hostage," but who would have believed she couldn't overpower him, seriously? Their respective muscle masses are all too visible in these outfits. This is better. They can fight alongside each other, read: she can make sure he doesn't kill himself with this thing. Kadoc glances over at her and nods firmly. It looks so much more cool and steady than he feels right now.
One of the bouncers finally pushes through the baffled, riled-up crowd to approach, rolling up his sleeves; this dude means business. For now, everyone else is just watching to see where this goes. But the tension is going to erupt as soon as Kadoc takes a laser sword swing at the guy—
So he does. Poorly aimed and inexpert, as he knew it would be, but the crowd whoops, people begin shoving forward to get close to (or in on) the action, and please god let this be distraction enough for Ritsuka!]
