Overlooked Question

Leonel's gaze became sharp and he didn't move immediately. 

The next sequence of events happened so quickly it felt impossible to stop, but from start to finish, Leonel didn't even move. It was like he was resigned to it already. 

He stood and watched as Veiga seemed to manipulate her own hoard of Ancestors, riling them up into a frenzy and leading them into a charge she never had any expectations of finishing off. 

He didn't move even when they seemed to show signs of putting his own life in danger, and he only made some faint and subtle actions when he saw that part of her plans seemed to encompass his starships and their Fusion Cores.
