"Well, sort of." Gregor frowns. It's a long story if he really wants to get into it, so he decides to pick out the part that gets the point across.
"It was a preemptive strike on his part. I had no idea who I was looking at until he started trying to maul me." Hmm, but that's just the bare basics. He's realized that context goes a long way in this conversation, and for this, Rosinante has none of it.
"I told you we prefer to keep a low profile. It's hard to do that when someone uses magic to commit obvious crimes, like turning into a monster and tearing people apart. The police aren't equipped to handle things like that, because that's not supposed to be possible. So yes, I was looking for the one responsible, but he found me first." That's still leaving out quite a lot, but it's not as if Rosinante asked for his entire life story, so that should be good enough.
