Clive dodges the blast Matrix-style and spin-kicks the rifle out of the man's hands.  He begins to go hand-to-hand with the man, being careful to keep the woman out of harm's way.  He talks as he trades blows with the stranger.  "Now, look, stranger, I followed the girl here because she seemed like she'd be a good ally.  I assumed the two of you were working together, you were a package deal, so I was willing to work with you.  If you're determined to tick me off, though, there's always the hard way.  This can be as easy as a business deal or as painful as having to look at that outfit.  Your choice."  An alert from his Power Suit informs Clive of the presence of a warship overhead.  "And you might want to make it fast, since there's a good chance someone else is gonna be shooting at us soon."  He manages to knock the man to the ground for a moment.  He extends his hand to help him up, a friendly gesture in spite of the vicious combat.  "Truce?" he says, glancing back at the woman to let her know she is included in the offer as well.
