Neil looked almost disappointed when the big guy turned tail and fled.  Surprised, too, that someone that strong would back down from a short, slender guy like him.  He stepped forwards carefully, worried about the woman but equally worried that the guy hadn't gone far and would get him when his guard was down.  He caught the woman halfway betwen where the both of them had been standing and offered his arm to support her, wounded as he could see she was.  "It's fine.  I'm tougher than I look, I don't think he could've hurt me too bad.  Are you okay?"<br/><br/>He tipped his head at her slightly, running an almost professional eye over her battered face and body, then frowned a little.  Being a medical student came in handy now and again.  Prostitution was just a good way to pay the fees.  "We should probably get you to a hospital or something, after a beatdown like that."  And soon, before that guy came back... if he came back.  Neil hadn't heard what had been shouted, but it didn't look like this was just some random jerk taking out his frustration on an unfortunate woman.  He tucked his hair back from his face, casting around for any signs of the attacker.<br/>--------<br/><br/>Keet was at this present time in a rather compromising position under the desk, just his tail visible swishing below it, and he was not in a much of a state to reply.  Piere, however, looked up with a reprimand on his lips which died when he saw that it wasn't one of his own men who had burst in.  Big... this guy was big, and he himself was only a small man, young and lean rather than powerful.  Still, he slowly smiled and placed a hand on Keet's head as the neko attempted to look round.  No, he was staying right there for now.  "Monsieur, don't you know it's rude to interrupt a man when he is busy?"  He said, his voice low.  Behind the intruder, the guards he'd thrown aside stirred and stood, their eyes lifeless and reddened and their limbs unnaturally awkward.  "Why, exactly, do you feel the need to intrude on me?  And who are you?  Speak quickly."  Not that it would save him; the guards were surrounding the two and more and more were moving towards the office every moment, all with a slightly unnatural, too-robotic gait.
