The Word -Prosaic

He stumbled back, the heat fading as quickly as it had come. Kolt reacted faster than his mind processed that he was human, his hand going for the blade once more strapped to his leg, and lunged. Blade striking for Yorvet's throat.
Yorvet calmly side stepped, his foot coming out at just the right moment to trip Kolt and send him tumbling, the knife flying away from him as he rolled to a stop, briefly dazed.
"Well that was rather prosaic, Kolt, though I do admire your reflexes."

Prosaic - dull, unimaginative, or ordinary

Added Info -In the 1600s, any text that was not poetic was prosaic. Back then, "prosaic" carried no negative connotations; it simply indicated that a written work was made up of prose. That sense clearly owes much to the meaning of the word's Latin ancestor prosa, which meant "prose." By the end of the 17th century, though, poetry had come to be viewed as the more beautiful, imaginative, and emotional type of writing, and prose was relegated to the status of mundane and plain-Jane. As a result, English speakers started using "prosaic" to refer to anything considered matter-of-fact or ordinary, and they gradually transformed it into a synonym for "colorless," "drab," "lifeless," and "lackluster."
