Zelus made no attempts to dodge the lightning, allowing it to strike. Following her movements he released a frown, this wasn't the same person he had been spending time with getting to know. Perhaps he made a miscalculation and he would suffer greatly, perhaps he should have asked Nyri what she wanted to do. Before beginning the approach Zelus took off his cloak and was twirling it around himself. The movement of the cloak hiding most of his actions. When Nyri attempted to kick him, he threw his cloak into her path. Something was definitely off with her. Moving around defensively he  only threw counter strikes against her. "What has you so upset! What is it you want! Do you want me dead! Are you upset that we were captured! What is wrong with you?"
