Meteion will feel a twinge of fear from him, but he's otherwise doing a remarkable job of keeping himself calm. "I have allies who came here for the same purpose." The fact that he isn't dressed liked the others, and doesn't so much as glance back at them could be a sign that he isn't talking about the others, but he keeps his focus on the man holding the now-sharpened blade to his throat. "My thoughts were that I could distract them long enough to allow their target chance to escape... though it seems the cautious approach was unnecessary."
