Neverwinter Forest I'm an accelerant, baby

>:D

As much as Caerus likely thought Jackalope was simply being offensive for the purpose of being a jackass, he actually detested sneezing given how much it hurt- and recoiled from the boy squinting to hold back the tears that prickled in the corners of his eyes. No matter how much of a nuisance the kid was, Jackalope wouldn't have chosen to sneeze at him, or at anyone, considering how much it hurt when it happened. He heard the boy curse and didn't flinch, muttering "Guh fuch yersel'" quietly under his breath as the snotty brat walked away. Given the fact he'd just spattered the boy with nose-blood, he didn't expect the kid to come back, or go anywhere near him for the next ten years or so. 

Instead, he heard a brief scuffle and barely had time to lift and turn his head before the youth smacked into him, grabbing him about his neck and forcing him to lose balance and fall face-first into the swiftly moving stream. He didn't even have time to force out much more than a surprised gurgle, coughing some of the spittle up from the back of his throat, before his face was plunged underwater.

Caerus probably didn't hear the dull thud of Jackalope's skull hitting the stone just below the surface- but the snaggletoothed man went limp almost immediately after he splashed into the water and within seconds, the current began to tug his slackened body away from the shallows.
