but, also, getting punched a lot. he comes down to meet them, though, with the container from the prinny lunch box - having cleaned and kept it. he's got some zongzi that he's improvised without bamboo leaves in there for them to snack on later. ]
[ he sets down the box, making sure it's out of the sun, and shrugs off his shield to prop up over it. ]
I am. I've taken some pretty hard hits, before, but it's not about proving I'm tough or anything, now. I want to know what I can do so that I can help everyone.
[They'll take a few steps as they wind up, and as they reach Hung they punch at him with quite a bit of force. It's still within the realm of "normal human strength", but it's an impressive punch for someone so short.]
[ oomph - he's fought some small people with hard punches, so it isn't too surprising, save for the fact that ox's power doesn't focus on it. but even if he feels it, he doesn't feel it? at least the same way.
still, he goes to swing on them in return with his power in mind, avoiding the mask and general face area. ]
that's very surprising to him, actually. he knows he's already strong, he's seen what he can do to people and objects, but this is a bit of a different feeling. ]
Huh! [ ok, wow ] I think... I just sent back what you gave me?

Cobalt Ox tries to block it, but the punch is strong and they get knocked off balance and stumble over.]

So you can absorb force and use it against your enemies! I think this just makes you even better at defending people.
