YES! Oh Maxim is having some fun with this scrawny little human boy! He grabbed the arm that lashed out. He wanted to bite it, see if he couldn't rip it off! What fun! But that would end the fight too soon, because Agatha wouldn't be pleased. And he could tell she was watching, could even picture the exasperated look of limited patience.

so instead he hauled on the arm, pulling Finnick in close, making a kissy noise at him before twisting and throwing him over one hip onto the ground. Grinning, he stepped one foot on the human's chest, intentionally giving him the opening to catch his ankle and return the favor. But of course it would be no fun if it was CLEAR he was giving the opening. No, the boy had to find it himself.

So Maxim stood there, one foot up on his chest, hands clasped together, shaking over his head in a universal gesture of victory. You just HAD to knock down someone who was taunting you like that, right? This was fun!
