Seth has seen a lot of things. Seth has survived a lot of things. In his relatively long line of service, this can't he the first time this has happened to him. But it's definitely the first time this has happened to him in a while.
He adjusts very quickly, darting away much faster than a normal person's reflexes would allow--but the thing is that he's just as surprised to see Irahl (or rather the large shield barreling towards him with Irahl behind it) as Irahl was to hear him, and so his reaction is just a split-second too slow.
The shield makes contact with his shoulder with enough force to knock him off-track. A bunch of proximity darts are flung too close for comfort, but with this very bad angle and sudden lack of space, Irahl's able to shoot him with his pistol before Seth is able to angle his gun up and around the damn shield to to the same.
He kicks the shield (and Irahl) away from him pretty forcefully, but doesn't pursue. He's already looking down at the mark on his coat and frowning.
As soon as there's been even a few seconds of silence, Nikaro calls out from the roof across the street.
