Ryunosuke had been in the middle of trying to think of what to say to poor Thoma, because it occurs to him... He and Kaeya had a common acquaintance in Lumine, didn't they? It would follow then, that they might be familiar with one another as well. What a horrible thing to witness...
Before he could follow that train of thought any further, all hell had broken loose.
Unlike Estinien, Ryunosuke doesn't have the benefit of years of dragoon training to tip him off. A pointed ear swiveled absentmindedly in the direction of Makoto's approach, but he doesn't think much of it until M is suddenly there and Ryunosuke is suddenly flung backwards, shoved out of the way by Estinien while his attention is fixed on the new arrival...
Things start escalating fast from there. Ryunosuke casts a bubble around himself to soften the fall, and then hastily scrambles back over to Thoma to try and shield him while Estinien and M scuffle, because Thoma's still tied up and can't defend himself if any crossfire happens to come their way, and now it sounds like more Kenoma are showing up--
Ryunosuke is panicking. The last time he saw M and Estinien in the same place, it hadn't exactly ended well?? There's no telling what could happen this time. He tries to untie Thoma first, because that seems the most practical, but the knots are complicated and he doesn't have the power to tear through bonds as effortlessly as Estinien had done with his, and he keeps glancing wildly between the ropes and the fight--
Estinien slamming down into that hole is kind of the last straw. Maybe Estinien could handle both Kenoma on his own... But Ryunosuke doesn't want to take any chances.
"I'm sorry, j-just hold on a moment, I'll be back for you!" he stammers at Thoma, before getting up and sprinting into the fray. It looks like M is about to try and divebomb into the pit, and Ryu does the first thing he can think of to try and keep things from getting worse.
A shimmering gold sphere of energy forms around the flying Kenoma, sealing him inside. As it turns out, this magic that was originally intended to protect, can also work quite well to contain.
