If I trip over another bough of holly, someone's bloody hall is going to get decked.

That's good, at least.

What if I wanted to fight? Would you fight me?

[bigbad]

Maybe. How good a fighter are you?

[everylittlegirl]

Not very. I'm tiny and can't really fight.

[bigbad]

Then no, I wouldn't. It's no fun if you know who'll win from the get go.

[everylittlegirl]

That's prejudice.

[bigbad]

So? I don't really get off on beating on people weaker than me. Never been my thing.

[everylittlegirl]

I'm glad to hear it.

If that was a test, you just passed.

[bigbad]

Oh, uh, good for me.

I guess the one exception's if you wanted to learn to fight. I could be convinced to spar a bit, help you learn.

[everylittlegirl]

No thanks.

[Private]
I'm basically a 5'-nothing teenage girl. I've learned to understand that I have no real chance of fighting and have just mastered the art of trying to get away. Thanks, though.

[bigbad]

I wasn't really volunteering, just giving an example. But the girl who's kicked my ass more than anyone else isn't much taller than you.

[...but she does have super strength.]

Your size doesn't make you weak. There are still ways to fight.

[Private]

[everylittlegirl]

Well, if you weren't volunteering anyway, it doesn't really make a difference.

[Private]

[bigbad]

Guess not.
