Al had a good point. "Not in the mood to rearrange the furniture?" Edmund teased as he followed Al outside. "Which would surely happen if I knocked you towards the nightstand. Too bad there might be witnesses to see you eat dirt." His tough talk had a winking mirth to it, since he did intend on going easy on the frail boy. He'd feel awful if he really did any damage to his new crush.
"Distinctive, huh? Should I be scared?" He grinned and took his stance, contemplating the softest sort of landing he could make for Al, when before he could even realize what had happened, his knees were buckling and his bottom was slamming hard into the dirt courtyard. "Ooph! Al!" Edmund looked at the other boy in considerable surprise, and a new admiration, though his pride (and his tailbone) were a bit hurt.
The next step clearly was to get up, but Edmund decided to use his new position to do it. He rolled forward in a somersault, his spine aching in protest after the fall, and kicked his legs as they flipped over. The aim was Al's thighs, to hopefully knock him off balance enough that as Edmund found the ground with his feet and drew up to standing, he'd slam into the rest of Al and send him spinning to the ground too.
