(Thanks for asking @sorceressofdurendaire)

“I think it would depend on the sort of surprised you are asking about. If it is good I’m bound to react better to it then if it is bad. I can sometimes be a bit jumpy and tense if surprised while stressed out. Most of the time I’m probably just going to be staring wide-eyed at whatever surprised me though.”

“I would not suggest surprising me. My first instinct is to defend myself. Years as a knight can do that to a person. Especially when dealing with dragons and heretics. I would hate to harm someone because they choose to surprise me. If someone does I just hope they do it a distance away from me so they are not harmed.”
