Lovejoy received a snort in response to her claims she didn't want to fight him. She had been the one primping and preening like she was some formidable force. She had attacked him first even if her stupid magic hadn't done anything but irritated him.

"Don't start fights you can't finish," he snapped, ready to keep going when she turned and fled.

Pent up anger demanded he trail after her but something flashed in his eyes. She was just a kid, like him, in over her head. He wasn't going to bother. There had to be someone else he could fight that wouldn't break so easily.
