[John doesn't quite have the smarts to grab Dave's hand. Or maybe the thought just didn't occur to him as a viable option. He does, at least, turn his head to try and lessen the impact of Dave's fist.]
[He's surprised when the other boy jumps back. He honestly expected...well, more than that. He gets to his feet, rubbing his jaw with a quiet 'ah, shit.']
What, that's it? You lay me out like that just to give me one punch before going back to the cat and mouse games, come on dude! If you're trying to make sure I get some running in today, thanks I guess, but come at me bro! Come on!
[John smacks his chest and throws his arms out. Though judging by the way he just planted his feet, he clearly has a plan if mind if Dave takes the taunt and comes charging at him for once. This isn't as much of a free shot as he's making it out to be.]
