Okay.

So, have you ever just barely managed to start convincing someone NOT to kill you, and then right when you convince them, you nearly get killed by a bunch of explosions?
To be honest I wish he took out the pants, but no.
Of course not.
Thankfully, in a cunning display of brilliance. I am now reliant on my companions to protect me.
Yes.
It turns out I tried to push someone who was trying to kill me, out of an explosion, because hey. That's what you should do.
"Infamously monstrous killer who kills people through dreams and you find him and have a chance to turn things around, by letting your other foe injure him."
Yes.
Body block.
So that way when help comes, they have to retrieve you're GRAVELY INJURED BODY.
Instead of HELP DEAL WITH YOUR FOES AND POTENTIALLY HAVE A CHANCE, WHATEVER.
