As Magnix's hand touched Auz he pushed him forward to throw him off balance. As he did this Auz spat at him. The push throwing the projectile off aim and having the blood land on Magnix's upper left cheek and across his nose ridge. This did cause his eyes to squint with the flinch caused by the unexpected splatter. His face turned more to his right.

After the push Magnix would pull on Auz's collar downward but towards him. This was done after his feet touched the ground to reverse the push momentum he had from leaping to attempt the initial grab.
