"I hadn't thought you were literal," is the first remark that spills out of his mouth. She wants him to stay away until the screaming is done? The blade makes it obvious what she intends to do and he can't say he's of a mind to stop her from chasing them down, if they weren't long gone by now. Imperial Security could intercept, they likely had a trace on the intruders and would be descending on both them and the attackers soon enough.

Their children however took priority and Duv could already hear one calling out for them in a panicked voice that urged him forward. He nods to Lakshmi.

"Come back." It's less a demand and more a statement of fact. She would come back, they would have whatever talk they needed to about what the hell had happened to her. First he needed to take care of their children. His eyes lock with hers once more and he makes his way quickly to their children's room.
