[ Sadly, Aliens did get the face huggers right to a certain extent. There were creatures in the galaxy that did that. Cassian just hadn't expected it to happen here. In a magic-fuelled territory powered by a sentient rock.
Actually, when you put it that way, it checks out.
If he had full function of his mouth he'd probably shout that he was definitely not trying to hold onto this doll. In fact, he'd love it if it fell right off his face and into the bag so they could be done with this ordeal. Instead it comes out something more like: MRMPHHH!!!
With his shin still smarting and blooming into a bruise he grips the doll with both of his hands in an attempt to try and throw it off of him. Unfortunately for him the doll has a vice-like grip and impeccable timing. The only reason Cassian is able to remove the doll in the first place is because it chooses to release its hold on him. And it happens just as the broom Percy launches at the doll connects with his face instead.
It doesn't hurt. Not really. But one of the bristles does poke him square in the eye which does hurt and causes him to release his hold on the doll with one of his hands to clutch his face. At least with his mouth free he can now swear as freely as he'd like. ]
Kriffing doll - [ He looks up to Percy with a look of weary indignation that the doll takes absolute glee in as it swings harmlessly towards Percy. ] I thought you went to camp to learn how to swing a sword.
