"I still can't say I like the sight of you bleeding from the ears though. Better than watching you die, I'll admit, but still far from pleasant. Would you at least allow me to halt that before we continue this conversation? We can fight after if you truly wish to. I'm curious to see if you're as fast as you were in my timeline."
