He takes an uneven step forward, mostly so his hands can curl around the back of the chair he'd leapt from earlier. The volatile energy crackling all around him has settled and he looks like a very small man again in clothes that are a few sizes too big for him.

"Honestly, Ed... I don't know," he says through a small wry smile, "I daresay though that you are probably at far greater risk of harm from me than I from you."

Not entirely true--there's plenty of damage they can do to one another, just one of them has more context to understand it than the other.
