The original Lutz's thing for turning women who 'love' him and betray him into ice statues is becoming a bit more clear now.
I thought the title was "...Strikes Down Flags..." not "raises more flags faster than the heroine possibly could"? The animal metaphors (the guard dog and the collared stray cat magician) are killing me, and the moment when the MC thought she'd really offerended Lutz but both the guys thought it was a hilarious joke that displayed she wasn't scared around them any more was great.
