[He'd figured from the start that speed would be his major disadvantage here; Kakyoin's maybe half his size, and he always did hate fighting people shorter and slighter than himself. So he's ready to block, but his top speed isn't nearly quick enough, and the blow connects.]
[His jaw cracks, teeth knocking against each other, and he takes a half-step back, but he's laughing, light and thrilled, and when he darts back in, it's with a stomp to Kakyoin's instep at the same time as he elbows him hard in the ribs.]
[Even as he caught a sharp jolt of pain through his foot and midsection, a wide smirk that was far sharper than Kakyoin's usual almost-elegant appearance was starting to cross his face.]
[...This actually was managing to be kind of fun.]
[Take this instead of a handshake.]
[He staggered for just a second at the stomp to his foot, but came back up with an elbow of his own, aimed dead center at Caesar's face.
