Remi had said she was fast - and gods is she fast.
Perhaps some part of him had thought he might be on par with it, that he might stand a chance at dodging out of the way, but as she lances forward, casual and deadly, he barely realises she's hit until the blood begins to gush from his torso. Gagging around the rusty taste suddenly in his mouth and clamping a hand over the wound for all the good it will do, Ronin is ashen faced not only at the devastation of Dahlia's claws, but at the truth in her words, too.
"Don't--" he almost begs - don't go to Haulani, don't take this out on them - but he's late off the mark on that as well, as it happens. Whether or not she goes for them after she's done with him though is anyone's guess, and gods but Ronin can't fucking risk it. "I'm sorry, I-- just don't. Leave them alone."
Ronin's brain kicks back in and he tries to backtrack :)
