Finding Fights with Atton

[will_scarlett]

There's a sharp chill in the air as they step through the door. Will pulls his cloak around him and moves out of the way for Atton,

"'ere we are. Could do with 'ittin' someone."

Atton growls a little, kneeing up at John's groin again and headbutting backwards at Ned.

[will_scarlett]

Ned curses and falls back, releasing his hold on Atton's arm as he cradles his nose while John doubles up slightly.

Ned is probably the more fragile of the two, so Atton turns, kicking at the side of his head.

[will_scarlett]

Neither of the men have ever seen anyone who can kick quite that high before and Ned goes down as John eyes Atton warily.

Then he charges him, coming in with a flurry of punches towards his chest and face.

Atton raises his arms as a shield and ducks down behind them, letting them take the battering instead.

[will_scarlett]

John just keeps punching and punching though not all of them are at full strength.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton flicks a foot around, trying to pull John to the ground.

[will_scarlett]

The foot shakes John's balance so that the punches are slower but he doesn't fall.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton uses the slower punches as a chance to open his defense and throw a flurry of his own.

[will_scarlett]

The punches combined with the leg make John start to wobble slightly and he grunts as he does his best to get his footing again.

Another knee to the groin, then - Atton's hit it before, so he's guessing it'll be sensitive.

[will_scarlett]

John doubles over and this time just uses his body weight to just knock Atton over.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton ends up flat on his back.

[will_scarlett]

John falls over next to him though he's doubled over,

"Do ye yield?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton's response is to sit up and try to headbutt John.

He feels this is clear.

[will_scarlett]

The headbutt hits and John falls unconscious. Much laughs and comes over to offer Atton a hand up,

"Seems ye've won."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton takes the hand up, wiping at his eyebrow again.

"Your turn, then. Looking forward to it?"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, though ye're na as quick as ye were 'fore."

Much grins at him as Ned and John are carried out of the way.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I'm not at my best at the moment," Atton admits.

[will_scarlett]

"Could always wait till 'nother time. Rare to see those two go down. I'll buy ye a drink for gettin' rid o'John's ego."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No. Now is good. Don't hold back."

[will_scarlett]

"If ye're sure? Na fun fightin' someone who's na at full strength."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton grins.

"If I was at full strength, I'd beat you so badly that you'd never fight again. I may still, y'never know."

[will_scarlett]

"Fair 'nough."

Much laughs and moves a step away from Atton before throwing a punch towards his stomach.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton's wiping his forehead when he punches, and barely sees it coming.

He'd forgotten how hard Much hits, but the memories come rushing back as he doubles over, then drops to his hands and knees.
