oh god i worked at the deli counter of a grocery store during super bowl sunday i know exactly how you're suffering and extend all my condolences-
BUT YES PLOTTING
Cassandra isn't a super trusting person right off the bat, so if it's a situation where they stumble into each other that could possibly be mistaken as "oh hey have you been FOLLOWING me", the idea of him pushing "hey i don't wanna fight a girl" would honestly just make her even more suspicious. Try to get her guard down??? She'll strike first!
Despite not having a ton of practical fighting experience up until pretty recently, Cass is a pretty quick, efficient fighter; go for the vitals, cut off any advantages (like... stabbing a mage in the throat to cut off her verbal spellcasting...), so she'd definitely be aiming for the neck, arms, chest, etc. Since he's making it to the finale I imagine nothing that would conceivably cause enough blood loss to kill him, so maybe just. Cutting him up a bit and getting one of his shoulders enough to make using one arm a bit difficult.
Also i can't imagine getting shot with a flare gun would be good even if it probably wouldn't KILL someone lmaoooo. It's totally up to you on that one if you want it to hit or miss, but Cass WILL try and use it since she's seen the kind of damage guns can do, even if she doesn't understand the function of this one.
