and she kicks him straightaway, tbh. unfortunately, she is just as physically strong as she appears to be, which boils down to "not very". still, her kicks are stronger than her punches! it's fine.]
[Well, for what it's worth, he was not actually expecting that. He was expecting like some sort of ladylike slap. It does hurt, but not enough to actually make him stumble or anything.
A part of him knows he should not hit a little girl. But like, no one else is around to yell at him and she did accept that this was a fight, so. He reaches out to grab and yank a chunk of her curly hair, before kneeing her in the stomach!]
She should have expected that. She didn't, because having seen his rifle, she'd expected him to either use it as a ranger weapon or to hit her with it like a club - and she was poised to duck, but not prepared to dodge a blow from below.
It knocks the wind out of her and makes her double over in pain, but also, she's stubborn, and although it hurts, she's trained in combat; it's not like he's drawn blood or anything, and she's faced bandits and monsters that have done more damage than this.
With a grunt, she hooks her foot around his ankle in an attempt to trip him.]
[A rifle is NOT a blunt object that would just risk damaging all the internal mechanisms please???? Ogata doesn't treat his weapon so poorly.
That said, he was honestly expecting the gut punch to incapacitate her, so he was in no way anticipating being tripped, and when he moves to step away, he loses his balance, and topples over, but grabs blindly at Flayn's wrist to try to take her down with him.]
[He is able to catch her wrist and pull her down - she doesn't move fast enough to snatch her hand out of his reach. Moments later she makes an impact with a grunt and shifts to try and roll out of the way.
[He's not gonna, because the point of all this, in the long run, was just to get Flayn out of his hair, so he's going to scramble to his feet as fast as he can, hope she's winded enough to stay down for enough time that he can book it into the woods deep enough that she'll lose sight of him!!!]

It's hard to breathe. Give her a moment.
