Aziraphale narrows his eyes and stands firm, unmoved by the threat or the weapon that backs it up. "I believe you've done enough," he says. "That 'xiǎo​xiǎo yī​ gè' is under my protection." Not sure what to make of the man's sudden burst of Mandarin, but it's scarcely relevant at the moment. Melanie and Niko's contributions he ignores for now; poor thing, always so well-intentioned, but he isn't about to hurt this upstart and he knows well enough, whatever happened, it could not have been due to Melanie being 'stupid'. No matter what she may have done or said, she is not the one firing on the defenseless.

Speaking of, that'll be quite enough of that, thank you. With a subtle flick of his wrist he alters the weapon's interior, subtly but enough to change the weight; no more bullets, only water. To Mal, he says, "You'll stand there, and you'll deal with me. I have no desire to harm you, but I will not allow you to touch her."

"I'm not going anywhere," says Orisa to Melanie, quiet but matter-of-fact. "Your blood can't harm anyone here, and regardless you can't harm me. It's going to be all right." She examines the wound briefly, then tilts her head to look at Nikolaos, so brave and vicious. "Come here, Niko, Melanie needs you." Better to diffuse the situation, if the animals are what's making this man jumpy.

Aziraphale wants to heal Melanie's wound - it will be the work of moments, but he needs to make contact with her, and he won't turn his back on this human just yet. Melanie will be fine, it is only a dream, but even in dreams this sort of behavior is unacceptable. "Explain yourself," he says coldly.
