He was going to let me go, but my reflexes kicked in and I hit him...

Apparently he wasn't after me, but for you. he realized when he caught me.

Huh? What do you mean?

I call it self-defense

I didn't know you were so violent.

This guy is scary

Oh it's ok! At least there's something happening!

Anyway I'm sorry. It's my fault that you were attacked in the first place.
