[Mental note: Don't ever let John swing his fists again. Pain shoots through Dave at the same time the air rushes out of his lungs. He bends with the hit trying to lessen the impact but John is still crazy as shit strong.
He's pretty sure he can't take too many more hits from his best friend. Not if he wants to have a shred of a chance. Dave winces as he takes a stuttered breath and immediately leaps back to put distance between them. God damn.]
H-holy shit. [Reassessment. John is slower than he is. He circles warily like a cat trying to find the right angle to pounce from. His abs have taken really bad hits before moving through the pain is the only way to get through it. He makes a hand signal in the classic bring it to see if he can taunt John into coming at him.]
