[ Distracted already by the dragon, the element of surprise equally works in Vanessa's favor, with the Doctor unsuspecting and unable to defend himself before he's thrown against the hard stone. Dazed, of course, he's unable to put up a fight before the bow is taken from him, and though he moves to stand, his steps are sluggish at first. The paladin is angrier than ever, but it's possessing a corporeal body and can't put up the fight it wants to. Not yet. The Doctor can, of course, withstand far more damage than an ordinary human, so by the time he's on his feet, that rage is already building quickly.
With blood streaming down his face from a gash to his forehead, he advances on Vanessa quickly, moving to shove her, trying to corner her and push her up against the adjacent wall. ]
You've gone mad! Take you, when I've got a perfectly willing soldier here?
[ He nearly sneers at her, fingers moving to wrap around her throat. ]
