 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
Kaiser was the kind of guy who generally tended to be very much aware of his surroundings. He didn't like to be taken by surprise, though it was very rare that such a thing happened. It was much more difficult for him to not be constantly on his guard.
But, sometimes, all sorts of things made that difficult. Like being busy enough trying to extinguish a fire that it wasn't quite so easy to recognise that the shapes in the flames might not have been flames at all. Or the flames themselves being so bright against the evening sky that noticing anything not in the immediate vicinity was near impossible. Or maybe a dragon suddenly appearing. The shock of that could also make things somewhat difficult.
Kaiser tried not to let his surprise impede him, and made an instinctive attempt to scramble back and out of the way before he was roasted, toasted, flattened, eaten, or all of the above in no particular order. He wasn't quite fast enough, however, and was unceremoniously bowled over by the creature so that, for a moment, he couldn't quite distinguish up from down.
Yelling was happening. Kaiser made sure to check that his wand was still in one piece, before rolling over and getting up onto his knees, looking around to try and reorient himself. Phoebe was nearby and apparently alive, so that was good, at least. Everyone else seemed similarly not-dead. Also, the dragon was headed for the Beauxbatons students.
Well. Regardless of why it might have suddenly decided Beauxbatons students were more relevant to its interests than the rest of them, Kaiser found himself... not doing much of anything. What could he even have done? He didn't know how to deal with dragons, and wasn't about to go flinging himself into the line of literal fire.
So he just ended up staying where he was, still knelt on the ground, wisely staying out of the way of whoever was more prepared for this sort of scenario than he was. He didn't feel terror, even fear, or much of anything, and might later suppose that that had something to do with the unfamiliar sensation of having been taken completely by surprise.
