[ Once the initial shock of it wears off, it seems like the group is quick to turn the tide ("the group" referring to Yusuke and Red, JJ's just trying to stay out of the way, and who knows where Boxer is). Any of the lingering bandits quickly lose interest in JJ, either turning tail or trying to gain an advantage of the two heavy hitters.
The situation calms, the chaos and rapid heartbeat fading from JJ's ears, wide eyes actually seeing instead of frantic as he observes the scene: some bandits, pawing at the caravan but easily scared off with a few swings of his pot, the others started by Yusuke's persona and intimidated by rang of Red's weapon. The assault comes like a wave against the shore, imposing and all-encompassing for a second before it recedes.
And then a different kind of cry emerges. JJ's head jerks back to where Florens is easing out of his hiding place, the red that he'd glimpsed at before still on his robes as the man groans. In seconds Emeraude is hurrying to his side, a mix of concerned and annoyed. ]
Did he get hurt? Maybe he needs help.
[ JJ doesn't wait much longer to make his way over either, his own approach noticeably faster than the remaining member of Florens' party. ]
