Grrk. He didn't squeak, this time, but he did huff out a curse word before getting jerked up by his metaphorical lapels.
But he'd also run head-first into a dragon's tail, and he hadn't dropped his spear then. Wouldn't drop it now, either. In fact, with the ground so close-- better watch your cloaked ass, Xigbar, because Cid isn't looking when he shoved that spear straight up and back, so he might just hit what no other man would hit before. Accidentally.
