One man's sleeve shifted.

A black shadow flashed on the dirt below them, and a hurried voice immediately cried out: "Aiya, snake!"

The crowd reacted and everyone was jumping here and dodging there, and in the chaotic shuffle a man was squeezed and pushed and shoved and ended up stumbling over to the carriage train and falling under one of the coaches!

His flailing hid the shimmer of dark light flashing in the crook of his arm.
