It was why he had not noticed her approaching, despite his usual alertness making sure no one could get a drop on him. It was a testament of how out of it he is, that it takes him a moment to realize that he had been grabbed until he sees her.
He reacts before he thinks, blue skin and dark eyes so otherworldly that his brain immediately tells him Danger danger like an alarm.
Hopefully her reflexes are fast, because his first instinct is to throw her over his shoulder to the ground, or attempt to. He certainly has the moves of someone who has done this hundreds of times.]
