[ME] dodge, dip, duck, dive, dodge

Ah well, that was the way the cookie crumbled, sometimes. You could dodge and duck and dip and... wait, he'd forgotten one. Maybe if he'd remembered to dive he would have avoided Kiada's shot? Alas, the world would never know. He lunged to the right as he saw her throw, but he just wasn't quite fast enough to avoid the ball entirely, getting tagged on a lanky elbow as he attempted to avoid the onrushing projectile. There was no denying he'd been struck, and he nodded at Wessex's gesture. He saluted Kiada with a grin as he trotted to the sidelines, calling an optimistic: "You've got this, Loren!" as he went.
