If I have no other choice? Fight. If I do have a choice? Parley. See if I can follow Sun Tzu and win without fighting.
(hand on her hip again)
Which brings me to the fact that, the way things are, you've only really got two choices.
Choice one: you keep pursuing me around this mini-world. I've already shown you that I'm really good at fleeing, and I'm going to say that I'll most likely choose that over a fight. Worst case, Juuchi kills you and drinks all of your blood; best case, I make you waste all of your time here.
And option B: you spend that time looking for someone else who's gonna give you some extra power more readily. This world's got people of all stripes, I bet there's at least three here right now. And you stay out of my hair, and I'll stay out of yours. No blood involved.
I want to protect them. And I'm perfectly willing to fight to do so. I just won't choose violence as my first option - violence breeds violence, especially in the long-term. What do they say about hydras again?

Uh, stand back, Laurie. I'm trying to diffuse a situation here.
-Keeps backpedaling until he sees that it's trapped and not moving anywhere-
-Without missing a beat, he clenches his fist and pulls it downward, and a moment later a thin bolt of lightning streaks through the air and hits the boar square in the skull-
-It goes limp, a neat, steaming hole at the top of its head-
Fucking thing, still don't have a clue where it came from...

-Creeps forward and peers out from behind a partially fallen tree-
-He waits for a moment or two until a rabbit hops by-
-A rather big and fat one, but still a measly rabbit-
Not even worth the tro- FUCKING SHIT-
-A boar just burst out of a bush and goes to rush him-
