[As Kaeya approaches, Ryunosuke blinks on his Insight almost without thinking, desperate for any kind of information that might give him an edge on getting both himself and the people he's protecting out of this situation in one piece. After all... Just because he's standing his ground, that doesn't mean that he's not scared half out of his wits. There's a Kenoma approaching him with a wicked looking sword in hand, and if it would be nice to be able to call his bluff, if he happens to be pulling one.

By the time the distance is closed between them, Ryunosuke still doesn't budge, and the bubble surrounding him doesn't even ripple from the tap of Kaeya's sword. He does flinch, though, just a little, when the ice shoots past him. He needs to buy the people inside time to get away. As much as possible.

What comes out of his mouth immediately after that may very well backfire on him horribly, or it may do absolutely nothing at all... But in his desperation to find an angle to appeal to this man from, there isn't much else Ryunosuke knows about him that he can draw from, besides one single commonality. It slips out of him in anger:]

You suppose Lumine would approve of what you're doing here then, do you? Terrorizing this city? Harassing citizens who don't have the power to stand up for themselves?
