Damien stared at the scarecrow for a few seconds, thinking about the threat it had made. Beat him off the property, eh? Then he threw his head back and laughed, loud and hard. As if a straw man could deal any significant damage to him. Returning his gaze to the scarecrow, Damien responded, "And how do you plan to do that? [i]Tickle[/i] me with your straw hands?" On that note, Damien began to laugh again. 

It was then that he felt a hand on his shoulder. Pausing his laughter with a "Huh?" as he turned around, he saw the fox girl smiling at him. Damien quickly realized that she was quite serious. Damien knew a threatening smile when he saw one, and that was certainly a threatening smile. Of course, the flaming tail and the countdown also helped. Throwing his hands in the air and taking a step back from her, Damien said, "Alright, alright, I'll leave the thing alone, jeez!"
