Ball watched as Imass picked up a wooden sword and he nearly shuddered as he recalled the earlier interaction with a magically blunted Suvai. Drawing Thorn wasn't in Ball's advantage, he was small and completely untrained in the sliver of metal... Where as Imass was well trained in how to use that sword – wooden or otherwise. The pycon managed to squash in his urge to shudder and quickly pushed himself off the ground towards Imass. With his small size, elasticity, and flexibility the Pycon's speed pulled his form into an elongated shape, similar to that of a capsule. With his oblong shape giving less room for air to buffer him, the Pycon picked up more speed due to aerodynamics.
It was a matter of moments, just long enough for Imass to reposition himself with sword in hand, that Ball managed to close the gap between them. The pycon wasn't far off the ground, maybe his height or a bit more, and the target was obvious... The inner knob of Imass's ankle bone. Contact with that lovely beauty of a location would cause Imass to immediately buckle in that leg due to the bundle of nerves that Ball would be hitting.
If contact was successful simply trajectory change would allow Ball to ricochet off of the first ankle and take out the back ankle in much the same matter. It was a pinball effect after that. With each consecutive contact Ball was essentially bring Imass down to his level.
If the second contact was made Ball would now be lined up for Imass's front knee, placed directly in line with the back part of the kneecap, where the knee was most vulnerable and once more a bundle of nerves awaited there. Contact made there would bring Imass down to his front knee, making the back one inaccessible to Ball's pinball affect and thus the next location was a bit farther away. Luckily though Ball's momentum hasn't slowed enough to have him fall short. It was the inner part of his left right wrist he would make contact with.
And that would hurt a lot. Contact made there would ultimately cause the Knight to drop his sword to the ground and the squire Pycon would just be bouncing off it again and on his way to the right elbow, where once more nerves rested in the cup created by the upper and lower parts of his arm and where they connected to the patella.
Of course, if his first attempt to make contact with Imass's front ankle failed the Pycon was just going to be shooting past his Sponsor and smacking head first into the barreled chest of his short and stocky furry mount.
