"A lady with no--" he starts, though he doesn't finish the sentence. The biting thing is even weirder. (Though, there's a check mark in the column for the vampire possibility.)

As she nudges his sword aside, he gives a grumble and lowers his sword. Once she does the same, he slowly sheathes it. She's obviously not the source of the problem, and currently she's actually being a little bit useful. There's yet to seem to be any outright dangers, and if some appear, he can draw his sword quickly enough.

The follow-up question takes him aback though. "No. What?! Of course not," he barks. Does this look like it's intended to be pretty?? Please.
