But Archie is a King's man. At the moment, he's struggling to his feet, grasping for his pistol, and kicking the body off him--oh good Lord, it's a woman, help him--so he can stand by Adele. Both hands are used up taking aim with his pistol as he slowly realizes none of the rioters realize he only has one shot. He is pale, but the bleeding is oozing rather than gushing, so he assumes he can die later if he must. For now, he's going to stand like an officer.
