[Okay so Dave coming from the side throws a bit of a wrench in John's brilliant scheme. Which is kind of a shame because it would have been awesome if he had charged at him head on, but no biggie. He can work with this. Especially since, with as fast as Dave is moving, the other boy might not notice that John has no intention of lowering his arms from his "come at me bro" stance.]
[His original plan was to either grab Dave and headbutt him in the chest. Or swing his arms back as a sort of momentum and headbutt Dave in the chest. So either way: Dave was going to have a . There are so many ways that either of these could have backfired on him but you know what? John never claimed to be a master strategist fighter. He's just kind of making it up as he goes, like usual.]
[Obviously he can't do this now. So instead, John curls his right hand into a fist. Once Dave is close enough, he swings his fist (arm still straight out) towards Dave's cheek, windmilling his torso. It's not going to be a very hard hit thanks to the awkward stance and the fact that this is his non-dominant hand, but John's hoping it'll be enough to knock him off course so he can follow up with...something.]
[Not quite that far ahead in the plan yet. Perhaps a headbutt.]
