Kija expected Jae-Ha to attack. But not quite in such a manner. Perhaps his sense of judgement was off. Blue eyes widened in alarm by the sudden close proximity.
Huh? So close...? He was thrown. It happened quick, and he moved to try and counter. Almost immediately he was cut short. Blue eyes grew even more large when his weapon arm was tightly grasped and he was dragged in against the taller dragon.
"You--" He started to say in alarm, before the fist made contact with his stomach. He felt the air quickly exit his lungs upon impact, and slumped forward.
Ah-
That certainly hurt.
His claw fell and everything spun for a moment as he grasped onto the other to keep from crumpling to the ground. The contents of his stomach spun angrily and he swallowed the taste of bile.
