[It's a good thing that Vash pulls Ain down when he does, because Ain is... not that fast of a mover, really. That would have clipped him, and he would've been pissed about it. The man does not handle pain well.
Nor does he handle people shooting at them well, but that's a little more to-be-expected. From where he's pulled onto the floor, he groans, and there's a brief moment where he's calculating their next move.
Unfortunately for these guys, the bird has magic. Pets are extremely Not Supposed to have that, but Ain sure fucking does, and he's used it in the past mostly to heal injuries they get on their travels. Little things, like "oops got into a knife fight in an alleyway". Nothing huge, because Ain likes to keep his secrets and fly under the radar. He's sure Vash thinks he's Just A Healing Bird and nothing else, but.
Alas.]
Stay down, [he says, as if it's not. extremely obvious. that they have to.] I'll protect you.
[The second they come further into the room to walk up to the couch, because... well, it's obvious they're going to — is when Ain springs up and jumps on one of them, quite literally barrelling one over in a move that's certifiably risky. The others are quick to point their guns at him and fire off several rounds, "Kill that pet!", but the bullets uselessly collide with a greenish shield that springs up around Ain at that exact moment.]
I'm really mad at you guys, you know? [There's a casualness to his tone, but underneath, he is very very very much about to murder someone.] We were just leaving.
[From where Ain is perched on. well. a guy, he conjures spears out of thin air, glowing and greenish-blue and definitely looking more fragile than they actually are. It's not entirely his intent to kill when he grabs one from where it hovers in the air next to him, so he doesn't aim to do so solely because it would probably upset Vash more than anything, but he does immediately stand and swat some idiots in the back of the neck with it, enough to render them unconscious in short order. The guy Ain tackled gets kicked in the head until he conks out, and that's that.
Magical overkill, maybe, but he could've done like. lightning or a vortex or just blown the entire building up.
Wordlessly, he drops his shield, and immediately begins looting. Guns, bullets, money, someone's housekeys...]
