The explosion has him pivoting, one heel digging into the ground as his torso twists reflexively to catch sight of what's happening so he can best defend himself against it. Unfortunately, all he catches sight off is a body careening towards him with enough force to knock him off balance.
Reflexively, his arms snap out - but towards Dokja instead of towards the ground in an effort to stabilize himself. His own safety has always taken a seat when weighed against the safety of others, and it's second nature by now to protect those in his range whenever the opportunity arises, even if that person is a huge jerk who gets on his nerves more often than not.
So it's with a grunt that he lands on the ground, earning himself a few scrapes and bruises before the battle's even begun in earnest. But hey, at least Dokja has a nice pillow to land on and a pair of hands stabilizing his fall. ]
