He had every reason to believe something was most likely going to occur soon... not with what he had experienced earlier tonight. He couldn't wrap his head around what it was or what it was going to be, but his guts was telling him that something really bad was going to happen. Not like he didn't know of that already.
The being's sudden appearance to him wasn't something he expected would happen again after almost a year of waiting, but it eventually did happen. And now he was left with problems of thinking about what really caused it to choose to make an appearance to him now after such a long time.
Although he had questions to ask the being when it had appeared, he had chosen not to ask it yet because there was a still a lot of tension between them. That was why he had chosen to welcome it with hits after hits, all of which had been a camouflage. But now that he was a little calm, it wasn't here with him to answer the inquiries he had.
