[ while his intentions in coming to shuten territory aren't immediately clear, he does seem to be amenable to a good cause. ]

My understanding of what this area has recently gone through isn't complete. However —

[ annoyed with the two teens' idle chatter in the wake of a threat ("threat"), one of the gang members advances while they're not outwardly poised for a fight, rearing his arm back to throw a wicked punch. clicking his tongue at being interrupted, shou ducks the hit, snagging the offender's wrist and using his own momentum to snap his arm back in a painful twist.

another approaches with a steel bar; its range is good but its arc is slow and messy. shou weaves out of its reach as it comes down, bringing his knee up and jamming it straight into the second attacker's gut. his free hand takes the bar while he's crumpled over, full of spit and curses, and with the other, he all but throws the first gang member into the second, sending them into a quivering heap on the ground. ]

As I was saying, I don't believe leaving these guys to do whatever they want is right while this area recovers.

[ he gives the bar a swing in his hand, the movement decidedly sword-like. ]
