Nate neatly drew the E-11 he had holstered when he tried to bargain with Jafar and fired on the nearest guards, when they were down he looked around to see who might need help. As he did so his t-shirt pulled against his wounded shoulder and he felt the blood that had run down his back stick to his shirt<span style="font-style: italic">"No time for that now"</span>he thought to himself then saw guards approaching Cinder.<br/>He winced as he swung the blaster up to aim as he ran towards the guards and Cinder moving in on the third point of a triangle, once hie was sure he wouldn't hit Cinder he let loose on the guards dropping them with a few rounds.<br/>He skidded to a stop by Cinder and took a defensive stance watching around them, his shoulder was on fire and wanted to go limp but he forced himself to function "Cinder Are you okay?" he asked suddenly aware that she looked unmoving.
