[Alexei doesn't seem affected by the actual fear aspect of this, but he does seem fairly...gone, really - whatever is happening there is apparently taking most, if not all of his focus, and while he's still looking at Yeager and his gaze seems to burn, there doesn't seem to be much under it.
Which is probably good, in that he can't seem to shake it off quickly enough to do much about being fucking shot at.
It drops him, though his grip on the sword allows him to catch himself before he straight-up hits the ground; it does force him to take a knee, though, and his breathing is hard and his gaze is remaining down for the moment. Whatever the room was doing dissipates immediately, the darkness quickly receding and the bright blue of the sky above Zaude is present and clear.
The fear, too, will dissipate quickly enough - or at least the source of it will, it doesn't feel like it's still being generated anymore.]
