Roy was actually a few inches taller than Sonje, though that didn't make her small by any stretch of the imagination. It did leave them without a lot of room to maneuver, though. Sonje resolved to fix this. She hunched her shoulders down and raised her shield, then bull rushed right into the midst of the cactoids with a shout, sending them flying. It left her with a couple of spines sticking into her, but for now she just ignored them and kept fighting. It also left room by her side for Roy to slip in and help out.
