Everything is dulled here, but his senses are still stronger than a normal human's by just a bit, and so he heard the arrow long before seeing it, felt the shift in the air it cut through. And for a moment he was torn between his normal serene detachment and panic, the assurance that nothing could harm him that he'd had for the entirely of his life as a human, and the rational part of his mind reminding him that no it doesn't work like that here.
He'd only half turned, instinctively willing an AT Field that he knew would not work here, when there was a clash of energy not unlike when Unit 01's prog knife had been halted in midair and he saw an arrow clatter to the cavern floor through a semi-transparent sheen around him.
The field dissipated with the danger and for a moment he just remained still, parsing what had happened and no, that had not been his AT Field but it was similar, would not be manipulated for levitation or whatever else he might have used it for back home but for this most basic level of defense...
He spotted the man separated from the group with a drawn bow, empathetic nature drawing him to the distressed expression before any thought of the risk, and Kaworu frowned.
"Are you alright?" he asked automatically, stepping away from the group toward the person that had just fired at him, lowering the sword in one hand and the other that had been drifting towards the pistol in his pocket. Movements slow and nonthreatening, everything that he should not have been able to afford in this place but, if he still had at least this level of protection here, then for a person in pain he could.
