He grinned at the sound of laughter echoing through the Undergrove - a sound that had been definitely lacking in the jungle while the Void had gotten its slimy tentacles all over it - but as much as he wanted to win, he also really wanted his armor back! As he turned around to check on Thal's proximity he remembered that oh, wait, he didn't want to get away! and it was like a little light bulb candle popped on above his head.
Which was pretty much the same moment that Thal launched herself at him.
The combination worked in the Ancient's favor. Tal managed to twist around to try and catch her, but her momentum still knocked him back and he stumbled a few steps before falling with her on top of him. Luckily for him the Vest couldn't be used offensively, but his pride was still wounded at having been knocked over. Still, he managed to smirk up at the petite captain as he got a good grip on the Vest. "An' now you can 'succeed' at givin' me my armor back," he teased her, ready to pull the overlarge garment (on her, at least) up over her head the moment she started to wriggle free of his trap.
