Hey if she's the one doing the startling away, he's okay with that! It means he doesn't have to own up to being an awkward teenager at all! Which let's face it, he very much is on a good day.

"Y-Yeah, I think I'm okay..." Just don't mind him using his now free hand to check to see that his hair is indeed spikey and not a pile of fluff. Oh okay, it is. Whew. He relaxes a little.

"Ha...ha...guess you don't," to put it simply! It's very awkward. He should probably say something. "Looks like you were given a new power. The same thing happened to me."

A beat.

"Well, not the same thing," He didn't turn turn anyone into a sheep. "But you know...a new power!"
