A perfectly normal reaction on every front. Think of the sharing as therapy.
Otherwise, the question would be as simple as "How would you defend yourself?"

He then is contemplating returning to the same place at the say time which he fully expects would lead to a second altercation. Is it self defense? Or something else.
No, it is not.
