To say that Kurt was surprised would be an understatement. He let out a gasp as a troll girl just jumped from the sky apparently and landed in front of him. And - oh. Those were the horns Kanaya had warned about. "You..."

His heart rate increased several-fold, and he barely had to take more than a second to weigh his options: fight, or flight? This was the most basic of biological responses, and he had only to chose. He'd been vaguely afraid that something like this might happen, after all, thus it didn't take him too long to chose his answer: flight.

He spun around and ran down the street, back the way he'd came. He didn't care to remember another biological fact, that fleeing from a predator only encouraged a chase to occur sooner. He still sort of believed that maybe he was over-reacting. Maybe Vriska just wanted a polite chat - or as polite as bullies usually got, which usually included name-calling and taunting, maybe a bit of shoving. If he ran away, he could avoid this situation escalating further, either way.

Never mind that his boots were really crappy excuses for running shoes. His speed was definitely compromised, despite the rush of adrenaline fueling his movements.
