Dylan's still uneasy in this place, even after talking to Trance. He doesn't trust nothing else to happen, and he's considering what his options might be when he hears the shout and turns to see who's doing the shouting.
This could be what he's been expecting to happen.
If it's not, it's sure something he can at least do something about. A creature of a race completely unfamiliar to him, shouting, wielding a sword that looks very much like it's stained in blood?
This is the point at which instinct takes over, instinct and years of High Guard training and High Guard operations and living with the lance as a part of himself. Slowly, not taking his eyes off whoever this is, Dylan draws his lance and holds it out in front of him. He extends the lance and, in one smooth movement, steps forward to take up a classic defensive stance of his own.
He can read the body language of combat well, and this looks like somebody who's not about to leap straight to the attack, but he's going to take guard anyway.
