The runt took a tumble because of the foot stomp. A frown crossed his lips as he stared at the dwarf who busily dusted himself off as he stood with the weird rings looped around his feet. He was speaking again, good lord this dwarf loved to hear his own voice. 

[i]"I'm gonna say a couple things. First of all, I've already told you what my rings do. They make me stronger, faster, and make me hit harder. I'm just moving them so I can use them more properly." The Pundambayan took a few steps towards General Freedom. "Second. I want to know what powers you have because I'm gonna kick your ass. I'm the one with suspicion on you." 

"Third. What I'm doing with these rings is preparing myself. I've already told you what the rings do, so I'm moving them to better prepare myself. That's what I'm doing." The Pundambayan pointed down at the rings that were now on his feet. "I've got to move them around to make sure that I move as fast, and hit as hard as possible. Magic is funny like that."[/i]

“Look runt. I don’t really have time for this. I am not going to fight you; you are clearly and admittedly drunk.”

Rubbing his chin, General Freedom stared at him a minute, pondering what he could do to extract himself from this predicament. Clearly the dwarf was a drunk and a loud mouth, but mostly he was harmless, or appeared to be.

“You may be a hero for your people. That’s great, I am happy for you, but really I don’t think it would be in your best interest or mine to have a dust up. As far as I can tell, other than being drunk in public, you haven’t done anything to warrant me to have to effect an arrest. Why don’t you climb back aboard your party boat there and go home.”

Then with a dazzling smile, the sun glinting off perfect white teeth in such a way that if would make a wonderful shot for the media, he said, “Tell you what bunky, err say what was your name again? Oh yes, Can-e-taw Nor-a-haaa Aye-naw…Why don’t you sleep off your drunk and then we can go a few rounds. As it is, it would be unfair to fight someone intoxicated.”

General Freedom spread he hands before him in an apologetic manner.
