What else Lambert will find new is a reminder that Childermass is not a gentleman and therefore he definitely does not fight like one. Secondly, that he actually is capable of reacting despite the sheer surprise of being dragged down and flipped onto the floor. It wasn't hard enough to knock the wind out of him and so he introduces Lambert to the lowest blow in the books.

Box him in? Without pinning down his other limbs? Oh, that for certain means he's jerking a knee up and back and directly into the witcher's crotch with as much force as he can muster from this position.

Meanwhile, in the peanut gallery, a population of one Growlithe, Baker has hopped his way back with the pig's ear to find this mess. Considering he's attached to both these assholes, he actually — and probably very thankfully — has to stop and really think about if he needs to be setting Lambert on fire right now or not. It's a conundrum, the worst kind for a dog to have!
