[you're more likely to know about that than Hawk though

Hawk's eyes widen and he throws himself forward a little faster, aiming to duck under Dave's strike, and swings around to attack from the side.]

[maybethistimeforsure]

[considering your world doesn't have video games, a true crime if there ever was one as long as they're not fucking Sburb

It's not that Dave doesn't see Hawk moving, but there's a moment where he doesn't anticipate that, and then he's jerking out of the way, not quite stumbling but not as controlled as his steps usually are. He comes back at Hawk straight off, but.

First blood to Hawk.]

[dude we're a little busy for video games considering the actual monsters

dancing back out of the way, but it's far too close for comfort, and- was that his hair. was it.

that's a mistake you can't take back, Dave.]

[maybethistimeforsure]

[well maybe you should think about cutting it at some point, then

Dave definitely is]

[desertdaggers]

[he'll cut it when he's good and ready

which was not now fyi

the only reason he's not going after yours in retaliation is it's too damn short

so instead you're getting a cascade of water ENJOY]

[maybethistimeforsure]

[yeah that's

exactly what's happening here

the spluttering is just for show

it's a little tougher to get a good footing next time he launches himself at Hawk but he's had trickier

even if it is still a pain]

[desertdaggers]

[you know what's more of a pain though

when the other person uses that as an opportunity to hook their foot around your leg to try to trip you]

[maybethistimeforsure]

[w o w

dick

unfortunately he's pretty used to shit like that, so it doesn't trip him as badly as Hawk probably wants. Still, there's a moment before he turns back to face Hawk, sword raised.]

[desertdaggers]

[taking all the advantage of that, thank you, and using that moment to rush Dave, hand to the centre of his chest]

[maybethistimeforsure]

[he teeters for a moment, off balance, taking a few steps back]
