[The appearance of the knife takes him by surprise. Not that Blue has one- he knows she does, and he generally thinks it's pretty cool that she walks around armed- but that she fucking pulls it on Gansey.
It's gone too far. He's almost frozen by the sudden movement, but instinct kicks in, violence opens up into action and opportunity. Ronan moves fast, everything in the entire universe narrowed down to the knife in Blue's hands and Gansey's fragile, beating heart.
He'd give anything to stop it, to rip her away from him before it happens, because it's Gansey. It's Gansey, and Ronan can't watch this, can't even entertain the possibility of failure as his fingers finally make contact with Blue's shoulder and he curls his hand around it, trying to stop her and at least buy Gansey a little more time to get away in the process.
She's too close to him. Has she cut him already? Ronan wants to search for blood, but he's focused on subduing Sargent first- his arm slides across her shoulders from where he's standing behind her, reaching out frantically to try to hook her elbow, the one with the knife, in his other arm.
Too fast. Ronan tries to look over Blue's shoulder toward Gansey, tries to make sure that he's alright before anything else happens.]
