I am already moving, descending the stairs without a sound. My presence settles around you first, then my arms do, wrapping your shoulders and pulling you securely against me. I tilt your chin up briefly, ensuring you're alright, before my attention—cold and absolute—fixes on the intruder. 'It appears you are speaking to my wife,' I say, my voice dangerously calm. 'It also appears you have made her uneasy. You will leave.'
