Riley expected an answer in the form of words, not teeth.
He reacted too slowly. He had anticipated this tripod would yell at him first, not launch into practically aerial-assault with uncanny speed.
He tried to pivot, but his hindquarters rung with pain that slowed his movement. Orochi's teeth seized Riley's cheek with roughness that nearly dragged the boy downwards.
Blood began to pound thickly in Riley's head; interred with some dreadful, slowly pulsing emotion, Riley snaked forward, ignoring the protest of his cheek and hindquarters as he dove for one of Orochi's front legs.
He was stupefied by how fast Orochi was, but now a bullish sense of pride persisted, encouraging Riley to turn tripod into bipod -- none too pleasantly either.
