Loki also didn't want to be beaten, and he didn't want to die. However, he knew how to fight. He was also willing to fight to avoid the fate of being beaten to death and devoured by hungry, rabid dogs. So he took a step closer to his opponent.
He hadn't picked the jerky from the ground, but it was the least of his concerns right now. Even the naive boy had stopped chewing the jerky. The situation was such that they didn't have the leisure to be concerned about food.
As Loki stepped forward, the boy stepped back in fright. But this didn't stop Loki. He took another step forward.
His purposeful stride and the look in his eyes frightened the young boy too much. The other boy took another step forward, but because of his fear, he didn't pay attention to his steps. So he stumbled and fell onto his butt.
He was in a vulnerable position, yet Loki continued to approach him. This made the boy say to him with tears in his eyes and a pleasing tone, "Please."
