Atton takes a step back, less out of fear and more because he's just noticed that his eyebrow is rather bloody from that cut across it and his forehead.
He gives it a quick wipe, then starts to take off his shirt.
"Get two of your guys then. One agile, one brawny'll do. Fair's fair. Both at once."
Atton knows he won't beat Much. He's not at his best, and the cut is going to impair his vision if he doesn't keep wiping off the blood (though he could just bandage it), and Much beat him last time.
But he's not here to win, so he may as well make it fair.
Once his shirt is off though, it'll be clear to see that he's not been keeping up practicing and keeping fit - not since Doc died. When he last met Much, Atton was lean and lanky, but with plenty of sharply defined muscle. He's still lean and lanky, but the muscles are far, far less defined. He's closer to average than athletic now.
