Ow.

That was a massive amount of blunt trauma.

Enough to kill it had it all been one hit.

Good thing it was two separate walls, the ground, and the fist.

Huh, there’s the human in the giant hole it just left behind.

“What happened? Why did you smash through my house?”

A reasonable question. Things had been going so well too. After hitting someone with a rock, it had decided the best course of action was to not be where said rock had come from. Rather, it had circled around the noise source so as to approach from the opposite direction.

Clearly that was a clever enough ruse to deflect all suspicion vis a vis any rock related damage. Just to be safe, it had said some other things while circling to further absolve itself from guilt, along the lines of 'oh no did something happen over there’ and 'nothing over in this direction’. That made it all the more surprising when the guy spinning around in the tall stalks flinched when he saw it coming from the opposite direction of where the rock came from.

In hindsight, it probably would have been better if it hadn't tried to disarm the situation by smiling at him.

Next thing it knew, it had gotten grabbed, spun around, thrown on the ground, and on the way back up from bouncing off the dirt was punched back the way it came at a much greater velocity. It could definitely state that none of what happened was either its fault, nor preventable through any reasonable means.

“I’m gonna say an impromptu test of gravity, and because it was in the flight path. Gravity still works by the way.”

It has managed to keep its senses about it while hurtling through the air, and gotten its feet be beneath it before landing. According to what it knew, humans had a top speed of about twelve meters per second, and that exchange had taken four; more than enough time for the one guy to have caught up. It had only been punched fifty meters after all.

A rock falls from the sky and hits the creature in the arm, which promptly disconnects from the rest of its body. Up in the sky was a fully grown human, who had apparently used his superior physicality to jump twenty meters into the air and return the creature's initial offense with much greater velocity. Fair was fair, and the fact of the matter was that all of its kind were designed to be easily readable by humans in the nonverbal sense. It was kind of the height of arrogance to think it could lie to one and expect not to have its sins laid bare. Unfortunately, it didn't look like this particular human was planning on stopping after claiming his recompensive three kilograms of flesh.

With a slam of displaced earth, the large human craters down and immediately launches into a flurry of punches to the creature's center of mass. None of the blows come anywhere near the critical force threshold where it was in danger of any actual damage, so it resigned itself to the repercussions of its actions.

Humans didn't have unlimited stamina, so he'd get tired eventually.
