[He hates this bit, partially because he has no idea how he does this back home. "Hey, honey, I just have to go fight someone. Don't worry about me, I'll be home by dinner?" Probably not.]
Abel, Yuan and I have been trying to find an opening to deal with something for almost a year, and an opportunity finally opened up, so we have to move today.
A boy named Joshua Christopher. He's got these "horns" that have possessed him and made him very powerful, and sometimes very volatile. If you talk to him when powers are all shut down, he's very normal, even scared of what he is with those horns. We've been trying to figure out how to get them off of him, and now we've got a plan. If we can pull it off, he won't be a threat anymore, and he'll be safe from himself.
Well, whattdya know? That makes things easier, I guess. [May...be?] After all, a fraction of a second should be more than enough for you. [A fact of which she sounds rather proud.]
How dangerous is this guy when he's in goat mode, exactly?
He can stop people in time, and it's kind of like turning people to stone. He's the only one who can reverse it. Otherwise, he has enhanced speed and enhanced strength.
[Well, that's just peachy. JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD] There's a completely unsaid 'please be careful' being inserted here, that you didn't just hear.
Joshua going after her is another concern, but that's why they're doing this right now, before anyone else gets dragged into it. By this time tonight, he figures, everything will be calm again, no harm done. They can think about the engagement party, and fun things, and all that jazz.]

So how are you planning to get the horns off? I'm assuming 'yank on them really hard' isn't your only option?

[He's so glad you're chill about these things.]
