[They're still learning one another at this point, having crossed metaphorical blades in this manner only twice - but he can tell she was holding something back, that time. She seems to favor a lot of brutal efficiency. For her to simply take that throw was a bit of decorum on her part.
The brutality in his own nature is annoyed. But the game-player chooses to see it a positive; it means they're building up a rapport, and that's what he wanted, isn't it? Besides there's still a challenge even if this isn't a fight to the death.]
Don't have the stamina for both? I see.
[This is a taunting remark he can't resist, looking down at her when he's got her on the floor.
Of course, before much time passes at all he's due for a reversal it would appear. He's hit by her tackle and goes down. There's enough time he could go for a rabbit punch as she hits him to try and break free - or scissor-hold her legs on the landing so he can flip them to get back on top. But one good turn deserves another, he supposes; he spares her kidney and her knees, and instead lands with his arms stretched out over his head, flat on his back, grinning up at her in a suggestive manner. Stretching out and acting like this is comfortable, for all the landing was a hard one.]
