Kick goes the headcase; tunk goes his foot around Etrigan's ankles. The power of physics can do many things, but tripping a creature that weighs three-hundred-plus pounds and can crumple steel with its bare hands is, apparently, not one of them-- it's a bit like trying to trip a tree.
The monster pays no attention to the attempt, head swiveled in the direction of the front of the shop, and the voice, teeth bared, eyes gleaming like coals. Considering.
After the space of three frantic heartbeats the demon reaches down, plucks Glitch's tablet back from his numb fingers-- adds insult to injury by giving Glitch a pat on the cheek that scratches three red lines down his skin-- and then whirls with a flutter of his cape and climbs for the skylight.
"Next time, dear! I fear we must adjourn "As token of my esteem, I'll leave you now to burn."
The mouth gapes wide and a gout of brilliant, seething fire erupts to blast the floor and a few more worktables, the heat enough to singe eyebrows from feet away. A mad laugh, the sound of breaking glass, and the creature has vanished through the skylight.
