Wow that was embarrassing Giffy thought. He's almost died on all three of his opponents. His first opponent (the berserker), got caught in Rem's roots just before he threw a warhammer right through him, Giffy's second opponent (the crossbow orc), got double teamed, just before he gutted Giffy, and his third opponent (the dead crossbow orc), almost crushed him before Rem pulled him off. Giffy wanted redemption for those fights, he didn't lose his cool in a battle easily, but he knew Rem was going to tell the others and Tyr wasn't exactly sympathetic about that kind of stuff.
Giffy charged at the orc with a reinvigorated amount of energy. He fought a lot more confidently and much less cautiously than normal. Luckily Rem was protecting him with a weak magical ward around his body, however the orc was in a different league than Giffy and quickly knocked him to the floor. Giffy remembered at that embarrassing moment that he was only fighting to prove he was a great warrior to his comrades that already knew he wasn't. They accepted and liked him as their crazy and almost annoying friend.
This calmed Giffy down and made him feel kind of weird thinking about all that touchy feely stuff, so he kicked the orc in the crotch.
