In fact, if he was at all to admit it, he didn't even notice the dummy until it dropped over flat on it's back from Emily's casting. And then, he blinked at it. Why he hadn't noticed it until that point was a might bit disturbing, unsettling and all around embarrassing.
Shaking out his arm a little and trying to resist the urge to rub his stomach where Emily's arm had contacted, he gave his partner a slightly sheepish look. And one that hopefully also indicated he'd be a bit more wary on his next step.
BAH! Take that Dummy! ... yep that's right, she wasn't about to let them loiter and lurk around. She was a predator and would make sure each and every one of them were either successfully stunned... or blown to bits. Whichever came first, she didn't really mind. Though... the Carni might.
She gave Sabel a devilish smile,
"On your toes."
Then continued to survey the area, keeping an eye out for any sudden movement.
