Unfortunately, Loki moved right into the shot. He winced as the pellet hit him and exploded on his bare skin, leaving a large blue stain. If they had been playing by the rules, he'd be dead now. However, no one had stated what rules they played by, or if there were any rules at all, so...

He quickly fired another shot in the direction of his opponend, then dropped flat to the ground and crawled behind the next bush as quickly and silently as he could. That put him farhter away from the wall, but if the angel hadn't noticed his relocation, it might be worth that little loss of protection.
