[ Okay, so this really isn't a prank. It's one thing to playact at fighting and to practice fight choreography, and another thing entirely to face off against a monster that really does want to kill you for no good reason; he knows he's in over his head the moment that the demon lunges at him, but he's never been great at staying still in dire situations.
He squares up, fists raised and feet braced. (Note to self: get less frilly stage outfits.) Gets ready to defend himself...
...when a pretty stranger cuts across him, and sends his enemy flying to the side with a gust of cold wind.
In his half-panicked state, he thinks about how this is a really good setup for a fantasy drama. She's already his hero. ]
—I know I should, but then I'll never find you again!
[ He knows how these scenarios work out. She's a mysterious heroine who's going to just disappear after she saves his life, and he can't have that!!! ]
