(Barely a blink passes when Dante moves next. On instant he's a few feet away from Denji, the next there's already a fist in Denji's gut. Even with Dante holding back enough to keep things nonlethal, there's a moment when the impact lifts the boy off of his feet for a moment. It's only the one punch for now - he'd rather not smack the kid around too much - but another may be needed, depending on his hardiness.)

[It's like someone thrust a cinderblock into his gut. He staggered back as his feet fought for purchase on the ground again, but the wheeze was his attempt to get his fuckin' diaphragm working again. That wind? Gone, and he was struggling to get it back.]

H-holy FUCK-

[Well. He had the capacity to curse, so there's that. But despite himself, he offers a quick two-fingered 'V'. He was okay, he just... god damn...

He reached for a nearby sign- sorry, local business- and hurled it for a feint before he tucked his body low and charged with a shoulder. Alright, big guy, let's fuck with YOUR center of gravity!

(Okay but this dude was REALLY cool though, let's not be a slouch here, Denji!)]
