Uhh... Your choice. Just know that Kir-Kon isn't going to take him by surprise, and he's going to be quite wary of people after that latest experience. But he's too... indignant at the moment to run, now that the ward has weakened, and he can fight for himself again.

I should probably throw in that, after the shape shift, the King is probably about as tall as Kir-Kon right now. Maybe taller. :)
