Razz did, indeed, expect his opponent to retaliate immediately. He wasn't however, expecting two ice bodies to take hold of his already wet body. This was a complete surprise to him, but he acted almost instinctively. As the two heavy ice figures grasped at his arms, Razz fell forward, slamming them against the rocky riverside, shattering them to bits. He hit his chest a little, but hurt himself much less than he would have if his opponent's blade had struck him, having avoided it with a roll.
Razz, now not only wet but partially covered in ice, stood up once more. Sniffing a little and internally worrying about getting a cold later, he clasped Rozhe with both hands and went for a big, overhead slash at his opponent.
