This idea originally started as a three part ficlet. The first one would have Samhuinn retorting through words; the second would have involved him responding through physical violence, knocking the orc down and threatening him. The third would have involved Samhuinn too afraid to respond and taking the insults head-on. All three would have started the same. In the end, I decided that three ficlets-within-ficlets would have been too long for one story, but that three separate ones wouldn't have been strong enough on their own, so I settled for this. Much as with most "ranking", I really can't tell if Samhuinn's replies are amusing and witty or just childish, but I was intending to be clever
