Luke had been glared at by far worse, and it bounced off the armour of his spirit without leaving even a scratch. The fireball might have been a different matter, but apparently rage was not conducive to a good aim .. who knew? Luke's laugh in response probably didn't improve Gil's temper any either, but he was then too distracted by the others closing on him to do anything more.<br/><br/>He shot into motion once more, closing on the beach and skipping across the smouldering remains of the lava. The nasty part of his mind considered a variation on<em>monkey steals the peach</em>, but that was, in all senses of the phrase, a low blow. Instead his staff came up, around and down with carefully measured force. To one unfamiliar with the intricacies of the staff, it might have looked<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">something like this</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/c/ce/FLNudawWUAM5-i1.jpg) </div></div>, but to one au fait with such things, it was a carefully chosen and delivered series of strikes, designed to render an opponent helpless without doing severe damage to them.<br/><br/>As Luke spun around Gilbert, admittedly he did say "Bonk" as he delivered the last gentle tap the other man's head, that sent him slowly toppling backwards over onto the cooling remains of the lava, before turning to the others with a flourish, leaving the staff tucked up under his arm.<br/><br/>"And that, ladies, gentlemen and assorted lava monsters, is how you do it." He looked at the house. "Please don't anyone take this question the wrong way, but you wouldn't happen to have any handcuffs or similar on you?" He gestured down at the fallen Gil. "They're for him, not me, obviously. He's not going to be coming round any time soon, but I'd prefer not to give him the chance for more shenanigans when he wakes up."<br/><br/>"And we ought to probably go get Hitomi too."
