[ The recognition for who exactly he's grabbed hits moments before the nickname hits, and it takes more self-control than Michinaga thought he had not to just let go again and let him fall. Maybe he's growing as a person. ]
I'll give you a handicap. [ Not a lot of energy to devote to comebacks as Michinaga concentrates on throwing his weight backwards and trying to keep his footing on the still-rolling deck at the same time as he works to haul the lanky idiot back onto what passes for solid ground at the moment. It's not until they're both upright and reasonably stable that Michinaga promptly ignores the fight around them, the massive snake, and any other person in range to lunge directly at Ace and fist a hand into the front of his shirt. ]
You! What the fuck did you do?!
[ When in doubt, blame Geats. It's a philosophy that's worked out reasonably well for him so far. ]
