Loppa's forearm crashed into the side of Dzan, he could feel da 'umies abdomen compress from the collision, and the skeleton rattle about like a crash test dummy. That was when one of the man's tiny fists slammed into the Black Orc's jaw. And that was when Loppa realized there was sumfin fun'e 'bout dis 'un. Well, funny in a way that wasn't just being sick in the head. A regular 'umie punching an Orc was about as useless as trying to put courage into a Snotling. This punch though? Loppa felt. Not in a way that'd do more than push his head to the side a few inches, but this was definitely more than he a strike like that to do. Especially since he was quite literally pushing the mad 'umie away with his arm in the same breath, but then he stopped moving. Loppa's red eyes fixed the clinging Dzan with a stare. His brain was trying to put the pieces together in order to understand what was going on. Then he spoke:
"'ey wut gives? Duz u'ze really fink u'ze kan git stuck in wif me?"
Then someone had to ruin it. Loppa's keen sense of smell had alerted him to the incoming female. The strange mixture of asbestos, foam, and lead paint that had gone into making her costume was hard for him to miss. He wasn't entirely too concerned though. Loppa had always felt the brainier tact was always to let his enemies come to him, for he despised running in spite of how deceptively fast he was. Even if it meant showing his back. Again, disrespect. The more he provoked an enemy, the more likely he was to get a good thrashin' while bashin' them in return. However, he had not counted on someone using one of his old tricks against him.
The Black Orc could barely feel the impact from the tiny projectile before it spread its dust about. Loppa opened his mouth in protest, beginning to say that someone wuz stealin' 'iz fings when the stinging began. He felt the tingling, and burning of something not unlike ants biting at his eyes and nose. Instinctively he closed his eyes shut tight and moved several steps ahead, turning about to face in the direction that he had been shot from. His left arm flailed up and down, easily lifting Dzan, in and out of the cloud that he himself had just exited. This also had the side effect of placing his Klaw and Dzan out in roughly the same direction as the one from where she approached. Thus, if she did still go through with her plan to launch herself at Loppa she'd find a svelte man and a green fist within her pink mist.
