First, Rurik felt confusion at why his fire was suddenly gone. Then, he felt fear when he heard the snarl. then more fear when he saw a rather angry looking man lunging at him. On reflex he brought his staff up into a guard position, putting it between himself and the man. As soon as the man hit his staff he pushed away and to the side, putting some distance between them. "Well....this certainly is an awkward situation isn't it?" Rurik said halfheartedly. "I don't suppose you could let me off with a warning again could you?" He knew the man wouldn't, so he got into a defensive position with his staff; left foot forward with most of his weight on his back foot if he needed to move, his staff parallel with him and his left hand forward and right hand ready to come up into a block. He didn't want to fight, to be honest if the man did let him go he would probably never come near this place again.
