Engrossed in the craftmanship, he didn't initially react as he had prepared himself to before touching the music box. It was only in being startled by the inhuman roar that he snapped his head around to view the Beast that stormed into the room. He set the music box back down, hesitant to risk it potentially being broken.

He hissed and tried to back away, to give ground, but he was caught up before he could make a move to do so. Instead, he felt a shudder down his spine as he was slammed into the brick wall, and the material cracked and dust came from it. He would definitely bruise, but it took a lot more than that to kill someone like him.

At first, he held his hands up in a sign of surrender before he took partial control of the character he was forced to play here and simply grabbed his power to transform into a tiny hummingbird in an attempt to zip away from the violence about to be inflicted.
