Hyper-alert and ready for combat—Gowron's retainers are in a state of controlled aggression, their emotional state dominated by loyalty to their lord and distrust of Duras's faction.

Surface: Tense and alert—Their posture and positioning suggest they are prepared for violence, whether defensive or premeditated.

If unaware, it is shock and disorientation, though their quick recovery implies training for such scenarios.
