Standing suddenly as Gabe delivered a blow to William's jaw, August froze. One one hand, William had asked Gabe to hit him, but on the other, why the fuck would you hit him. The exchange suddenly made him want to attack Gabe again and he made to start after the boy now on the ground but stopped. There was just something about the sight of fresh blood that made him want to kick and punch and fight his way to the top.
The fight was over, though, he had won with that successful bite to the shoulder. He had gotten punished for it, but still won. He had to keep reminding himself of that fact. "I'm out." Patting his leg for a moment, August trotted out the room as quickly as his battered body could manage, his head held high for the wide-eyed spectators that still lurked around the edges of the scene.
