Gadolinite flapped a hand dismissively. "Semantics," he said airily. "You haff your way of thinking. I haff mine. And mine is one that vorks at present, so..."
He gave a careless, lazy shrug, Gadolinite's gaze flicking over to the senshi. He was inordinately pleased to see how wobbly he looked, in spite of his own forehead still throbbing. A part of him hoped he would maybe just...collapse, and then this whole sordid matter would be over and done with.
The magic was sudden and unexpected. Gadolinite made a noise of anger, stopping full on, the little flickers of pain rippling through him at each moment. He lifted his gaze, giving a snort of breathless laughter, and tightened his grasp on the starseed deliberately.
"Nice. You are still not getting this."

He was fairly sure ownership wasn't semantics either. The noise of anger caused a bit of a dazed smirk to flicker onto Encke's face. Good. He had actually managed to pull that off. He felt exhausted, but his eyes were on what the senshi was holding. Maybe while he was grimacing and laughing he had a shot at getting at it... Cringing a bit at the feeling of shocks against his own skin, Encke attempted to charge at the senshi with the intention of whacking what he was holding out of his hand. Then he could give it back to the woman. Unfortunately, his growing headache was leaving him uncoordinated, and as a side-effect his movements were slower than normal and admittedly a bit sloppy. Hopefully the attack had been enough to give him the advantage.

Gadolinite tried moving and that was a mistake. Every shift of his body sent little jolts of static shock up and down him, and he made an irritated sound in the back of his throat. He sort of wanted to smack that smirk right off of the senshi's face.
"Oh, no," said Gadolinite, as the other lunged towards him, and he twisted, hissing with annoyance. He staggered, his own movements hindered by the magic crackling in the air around him, and shifted, trying to get out of the way before he was tackled.
"No - "
Gadolinite shoved a fist towards the senshi, starseed pressed against his chest.
"Here," he said, in a low, purring voice, "You can have it. But - "
His hand came down sharply, aiming for the back of the man's neck.
"You cannot haff me as vell."

When the starseed was shoved against his chest, Encke was a bit surprised, but he quickly scrambled to grab it from him. Cool. This was what he wanted in the first place-- -- What was -- Encke let out a rather undignified squawk when the hand came down on his neck, and he clutched the seed close to his own body as he crumbled to the ground. Gadolinite got what he wanted; it seemed like Encke was, at the very least, on the ground for the moment. Not bothering to get back up just yet, Encke grunted out a, "Go, then."

The magic was still crackling unpleasantly around him; Gadolinite staggered, wincing, his legs feeling heavy as he half climbed over the senshi, trying to get away from the damned shocks. He disliked leaving the starseed behind, but -
Well. He'd at least managed some part of a victory.
Gadolinite thought about saying something snarky as he left, but he decided just to leave it for now, disappearing around the corner.

A few moments after Encke saw the senshi retreat, wanting to be sure he was actually leaving before he made any movements, Encke wobbled his way over to the unconscious civilian. What was he supposed to do with this? He looked at the starseed uncomfortably, and then looked back at the woman. Starseeds were in the chest, right? Maybe he just needed to try and put it there or something. He bent down in front of her, uncurling his fingers and moving his hand close to her chest. He watched, amazed, as the starseed lifted itself from his hand and floated right back into her chest, disappearing into it. She already looked better. Encke knew some of the locals had a bad impression of the senshi, so he wouldn't try to rouse her himself. Instead, as he left, he made a quick call to emergency services claiming that there was an unconscious person, and watched from a distance to be sure they arrived before dehenshining and stumbling home.
