I'll meet them instead of staying where I am. I won't go all the way in but I'll meet them on the way out.

My reasoning is that once I end the conversation, I want to be able to turn and walk away. By leaving my position I actually have some place to go. I turn and leave and if he is follows me then he appears the agressor and he's done.

Also once ejected this gives you space to return to and a spot for your pard to slip in and get the skip off the field. Again if you haven't moved, your going to appear as if you are running away from him and/or your pard will have to insert himself between a very small space between you and the skipper.
