[Simon's mind was still working on a witty retort when that next kick happens. He tries to move backwards yet again, but bumps into some idiot from the peanut gallery so he can't quite get out of reach. Overall, it could've been far worse, though the kick connects nonetheless. An awkward cry of pain escapes him and he falls to his knees.

Lucky for him, Taka arrives just in time to stop Katze from taking advantage of the situation. Realizing that his 'master' is in trouble, the hawk swoops down and goes straight for Katze's face with his sharp talons.]

GOALLLLL!

[Katze throws his head back and laughs his ass off once the skunk sags to his knees. He was about to tap dance on this losers head when something fowl and feathery attacks him.]

Ahhh! AHHHHH! [The bird is wrecking his hair up something foul! Katze crouches down low to avoid the talons as he runs for cover.] Call him off! CALL HIM OFF!

[God bless his feathered buddy, always having Simon's back when he needs it. He hadn't trained Taka to be a vicious assailant for situations like this, but he can't deny it comes in handy right now. While he sits up a bit straighter, his head is still drooping forward and his jaws are still clenched with pain.]

I would, were it not for the fact that my 'fat momma' neglected to teach me any manners. [Yes, he's salty enough to throw that one back into Katz's face. And no, he's not calling off his hawk just yet.]

[Katze's screams of terror don't stop as the hawk keeps pecking at him. His hair is a fluffier mess than usual now and little red scratches are on his arms and hands from shielding himself. As the angry fowl keeps pecking away, Katze's black diamond tail goes to action.

That skinny tail whips at the bird several times as if to shoo it off. When that fails, Katze's tail turns a bit rigid like a mock sword and starts stabbing at the hawk.]

DIE, DIE, DIE!

[Simon's perfectly content to keep kneeling on the ground a bit longer as he regains his composure, waiting for his own pain to ebb away and caring very little for what happens to Katze. ...That is, until Taka starts to screech and he looks up to see some tail-like thing swiping at his precious hawk friend.

He wastes no further time with raising his hand to his mouth for another whistle, calling Taka over to his shoulder. That's the safest place for him to be, right now. ...Hopefully.]

[ Wrong. Having that bird fly back towards its owner was a grave mistake since Katze is officially on the offense.

The alien hops back onto his feet and lunges towards that pesky human with one hell of a tackle in route.]

I'M GOIN' TO RIP YOUR SHOULDER BLADES OUT THROUGH YOUR ASS!

[Holy the f**** s**! There's a seven feet tail alien, in a dress, about to go absolutely ballistic. Send help immediately or start running.]

[Oh. UHOH. Simon severely underestimated just what sort of person he's dealing with here. He's used to totally normal humans who don't have sword tails or things like that, so that's his bad, right there. Taka ruffles his feathers and appears ready to charge right back into the fray, but Simon won't risk it. His hawk buddy must not be harmed!

Time to play as dirty as possible. He pulls his hand back for a swift iaijutsu move, sending a slice Katze's way. (Canon never explains how this works; it's sort of like throwing a tiny knife, except it's just air.) To be precise, he's aiming for the obi, hoping to cut it to the point where it'll slip down again. It's meant to be a distraction, if anything, because a split second later he's whirled himself around so he can weasel his way into the crowd. If he can just disappear into the masses...!]

[Simon uses distraction! It's 190% effective!]

Eeeekkk!

[Katze shrieked loudly when his cute lavender hued obi is cut. Pure panic raced through him as the kimono dress starts to unravel open. As much he would love to brag about the lacy white négligé underneath, Katze doesn't want to share a "Q & A" with everyone at the festival.]

D-Don't any of you dare look!

[He kneels down in hopes of gathering his obi quickly to stop this major wardrobe malfunction from happening. A little bit of flawlessly pale shoulders and thighs are on display.]

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

[Simon would look, but he's a bit too busy trying to push his way through the crowd of onlookers. It's not an act of cowardice, it's a strategic retreat. Athena went through so much trouble to save his life, he'd rather not lose it over something ridiculous as this.

He inevitably gets a tiny peek as he looks back over his shoulder to verify whether the distraction was effective, but that's about all he's getting. The bystanders are blocking his view for the most part, which is good because it means they're blocking Katze from getting to him as well.]

Argh!! It's ruined, it's ruined, it's ruined! [Katze whines as he trues to tie the obi together again.despite having all these uber cool super abilities, Katze can't sew.]

Not fair! Not freaking fair!

[Whelp! His night is officially ruined. ~~Time for a murder spree--~~ Not! Katze is going to go whine to Bracken and Airy first then go on a murder spree. Sounds about right! Though, for now the skunk gets away scott free with some bashed up balls.]

Move out of the way!

[He yells before turning completely vanishing... ]

[By the time Simon looks back a second time, he's already so far gone in the crowd that it's hard to tell where Katze would've been if he'd followed. There doesn't seem to be a sign of his assailant anywhere. While he breathes a quiet sigh of relief, he knows it's unwise to linger and continues on his way to flounce from the festival. Let's hope he never runs into this guy again.

~~He's bound to run into this guy again eventually.~~]
