Ruby isn't ignorant, merely looking for a way to deescalate what she saw as an unattainable situation. Indeed, she had swatted at the hornet's nest and now wondered if they could talk it out. And the way she saw it… the locals had veeeeery low tech weapons (Ruby is, after all, something of a weapon expert and historian) and didn't seem to have any superhuman abilities. So given the facts this group clearly outgunned the hordes outside… well those hordes did have the numbers. But those could be overcome with a good plan.
Her reasoning was to convince those outside that they could easily slice and burn their way out of this building out of this city… but didn't want to do that. To her, it was kind of like a police officer arresting Superman… the cop was only able to do it because Superman allowed it.
But the planning session in her head is interrupted as she finds herself under attack.
She gasped and wheezed for a breath as she is put into a lethal choke hold. Her hands shoot up to grab at Knight's forearm to try and pull him off. But he is far stronger and she is far off-balance. She thrashes as she tries to get free, her mind going into a full on panic. Her back arches and she tries to push off of him, but to no avail. Her face turns a red nearly as bright as her cloak, and she is then released.
She tries to scramble away, but he is to fast and grabs her uniform. Wide eyed she stares at him as she is held, tears trickling down her cheeks and her hands grasping his wrists, her fingernails trying to dig into his skin. She pants for breath, and she's unable to hear him over the sound of her own gasping and her heart beating in her ears. She shoots a glance at Xeir when he points to her, and then back to him.
And when he lets her go she stumbles back and lands on her butt, her arms coming up in a defensive position. She stares wide eyed at the man, unbelieving he could do something like he just did. She is aware of Thea defending her honor, but upon that realization she would appreciate it. She sits there quietly for a few moments, not bothering to brush away the tears. She speaks in a shaky tone, almost a shouting shaky tone "Helping someone in need is never a waste! Whatever consequences are I'll take responsibility!"
Now she gets to her feet carefully, her knees a little wobbly. It isn't that sucker punch of a hold did a ton of damage, it's more the emotional tone it takes. Her hands move to rub her neck and speaks now more softly "B'sides… you attacked a guard first… ya… ya jerk… " Well said, Rubes.
Keeping her eyes cast down this whole time, she now faces more towards Thea "Whatever you all come up with… I'll do… even if you want me to do nothing."
