[ i'm not going to lie in my tags??? also does it count as holding hands if there's a third object in the way
But, it's true, Dokja does look like a man who's never seen the inside of a gym before, so it's a little surprising when he grabs onto the front of Eustace's shirt and pushes with unexpected force. They do both go toppling backwards, because sometimes you just want two guys to tussle around in the dirt (again). But the perks of having some ten years of battlefield experience under his belt is that Eustace reacts quickly enough, adjusting his weight and curling his body inward so that he blunts the worst of the fall, with only a low grunt escaping his lips as he lands.
His own hand meets Dokja's halfway, Dokja's hand quick enough to catch Eustace by the wrist and stop the forward momentum of the dagger pointed at his torso. But there's no break between landing and him pulling up his leg to try and land a kick on whatever part of Dokja happens to be closest, and he follows it with an attempt to roll them both onto their sides so that he can ultimately end up on top. (Insert your favorite dirty joke here.)
Yeah, yeah, he's not above doing the same thing twice if it'll net him the same (largely successful) result. ]
