He had just enough warning to duck the kick, keeping his balance, and responded with enough of his own powers to knock Crowley backwards without any physical blow: the Messenger was by nature not a warrior, and what experience he had was now ages old, from a time when those who were his enemies had been more clearly distinguishable. He had not the inclination, though if Crowley were to force him...
He glared at Crowley, holding the other temporarily at bay by sheer force of will. "You don't want to do this, demon."
