So quick to run your mouth. Show me everything, then. Let's see you give it your all!
[ Someone's overconfident here, and it isn't Achilles. Then again, Tartaglia's raw-boned and vicious and always raring for a fight in the end, like trying to still that compulsion towards battle that swims around him at all hours. He's not blind to what separates them; in contrast, he still has so much to learn, idling even in retreat, too slow to completely evade that pummeling fist as it rears up with so much strength behind it.
Imperfectly, he takes it; those knuckles clock his ribs, and Tartaglia laughs, a harsh, punched-out sound even as he's wrenching backwards. Now, the skin's blistering and scraped, bound to bruise by the end of the day. ]
Yield to me. I'll even let you beg!
[ THIS IS THE DIALOGUE OF ALL TIME
Struck momentarily off-balance, Tartaglia blocks the next couple of blows with his arm, then drives himself forward. So breathless, he doesn't even pause for air as he tangles Achilles up in his grip, attempting to hook a leg around him long enough to bring them both crashing to the floor. ]
