It's clear that evading him will be more trouble than it's worth. Even if I was able to outmaneuver him, I'd just end up having to deal with the problem later. It's dangerous to leave a problem unresolved, which is why I try to follow a policy of swift resolution whenever possible. Even if the action taken is the wrong one, it's better than doing nothing at all.

Doing an about-face and looking back, waiting for my new acquaintance to turn the corner, I'm given a second to plan how I want to go about this.
