What do you like to play against this semi-common opening (at least at my level)? Accepting it seems to be the usual continuation, but after 5. c3 how do you retreat?

yep... then d4 is a gambit line but I believe o-o is the true mainline.
just decline the gambit and move on in peace...

There is actually a split with two Mainlines to choose from in the Accepted lines. Ba5 is one option (my preference if I'd play it) and Be7. Both are tried and tested and have lots of theory you can look into.

bb6 looks better than be7
be7 looks alittle passive
bb6 still helps put pressure on f2 and d4
