For a moment, Ginko can hardly believe what's happening. Joker's sudden appearance comes as a jolt, and Scout's after, snapping his attention away from the mushi creeping outwards from his eye. He doesn't even notice that the tokoyami's growth has slowed to a crawl, as visible as it may be to outside observers.
Seeing Joker blasted back-- he might as well have been struck by that same force himself. But he can't get himself to move, to react beyond a halting step forward and a half-vocalized protest - not until mushi start rushing from the nest. Ginko can't do much about Creation, or the Void, or these magic battles that keep breaking out, but these are something he knows. Whatever might be happening to him, he can't let Joker and Scout be taken down with him.
The last of his hesitation dissolves, and he pulls a retractable pin from the roll in his pocket, flicking it in one quick motion at the fastest of the mushi heading for Joker. "Scout!" His voice is shaking, but as quick and focused as he can be under the circumstances. "Those will eat your soul, watch it!"
