[Of course, this is something the Princess can handle alone, something she feels she has to. Kija has, consequently, Stayed Out Of It, whatever It is; it is not his affair how she chooses to achieve that aim, and no matter how much he may wish to it certainly is not his place to compound her troubles by chasing after the offending parties himself. So he has waited, quiet and completely and entirely patient thank you very much, and if he has chosen to do so as from as close a vantage as possible and to pace the floor while he waits, it is merely because the weather is entirely too hot to sit immobile.
[That good intention lasts precisely as long as it takes for the Princess to call Jae-Ha's name, and it is extremely fortunate that Kija is already on his feet, as it makes it all the easier to fly to her--
[Just in time to see Shizuo grappling with Jae-Ha, and his brother pulling his wrist free from the other man's grasp.
[That, Kija thinks, is quite far enough.]
Shizuo!
[That was the warning shot.
[The back of the collar would be easiest: with no time to flank him it is not an option. Kija instead - excuse me, Jae-Ha, could you step back please? - snatches for the front of the man's shirt, the fabric catching in his claws as he lifts Shizuo off his feet, and hurls him bodily back toward the temple.]

That was not a request!
