At the very least, the snowfall wasn't blizzard strength today. But it was making the work of unloading the trucks at the community center difficult. But the kitchen was cooking, the fires were going, and up and down the block, families lined up to get blankets, to get food, and get some hope from a group many of them considered to be heroes for entirely different reasons than most did...

The X-Men.

The shorter guy has a bit more common sense - he swears and takes a step back. "Jesus Christ -"

The bigger one, on the other hand, yells something unintelligible and takes a swing at Liir.

The rats begin swarming up them. Some springboard off Liir and Luvander. Liir's already growing a rat's teeth and whickers, which make him look a bit goofy, for sure. But the air blows over them and he can turn his jaw a bit into the punch. The impact causes him to stagger forwards and into the other man. He's got him around the body and his enormous, goofy incisors search for any place not covered by sufficiently thick clothing.

Well, he's had worse than rats crawling on him at times, so he just tries to mind where he steps as well as he can. As he darts past Liir and the big guy, he lets one hand brush against the back of the other boy's neck, locating any possible damage caused by the punch and transferring it, only wincing slightly at the dull pain of it.

The important thing is that the big guy doesn't receive backup right now, so Luvander heads for the smaller of the two, treating him to his very friendliest grin as he firmly places himself in between him and the scuffle between the two others. "How about we hang back a bit, nobody likes a busybody much." He's still holding the knife like an afterthought, not really threatening unless he has to use it.

"This is bullshit," the smaller one snarls - but he doesn't press his luck, and doesn't offer anything more than a venomous glare.

The big one is yelling, shaking whichever limb he can get most free at any given moment, trying awkwardly to push Liir off him.

Liir's not going anywhere. He's already behind the bigger man's shoulder, shoving him forward the way they taught him in the army. It'll all be over if he can get him face first down there with those rats.

Do it to Julia! Heh. He thinks.

Luvander just smiles and shrugs easily at the guy in front of him, fiddling absently with the knife he's holding, but still with his knees slightly bent in case of an attack.

"Now now, don't be like that. My friend over there just wants to introduce your friends to some new friends. Nothing to get wound up about... friend."
