[Oh, those Shuten meatheads are at it again. Matoba just happens to be passing through when the brawl breaks out, and is unfortunately easy pickings as A) a human B) a non-Shuten, and C) a slender lil' beanpole. Despite these complicating factors, he picks through the crowd like an inconvenienced cat, only coming to a stop when Bradley smashes his fists into the youkai that had been charging towards him, sending him crumpling into a brick wall.]
[For a moment he just stands there and blinks at the youth with mild surprise, at least until he remembers to acknowledge his "savior".]
Hm? --Oh, yes. Terrified.
[Matoba opens his mouth to say something else, but is interrupted by the battle-roar erupting from an oni youth charging at Bradley from behind. Presumably, the buddies of the guy he just knocked out?]
