[ the second he feels evan's grip lax, david jerks backwards out of it, already trying to think on how to press this advantage, slight as it is. a good hit there can hurt for weeks, but that's in the real world against a normal person, david doesn't doubt evan could recover from it within the next few minutes. enough to act like it's not a problem at the very least. ]
[ the smart thing to do is go for the glaring weak points sticking out of evan's body, he knows that, but for some reason it's something david is hesitant to do unless he really needs to. probably ego. he can beat him without it. that's all. ]
[ evan's still hitting him and even off-kilter as he is it fucking hurts, but he can handle pain. he can handle bruised ribs and ringing in his ears and a nose stuffed up with blood. opts for a risky play; feints a punch to evan's throat and drops, shoulder to his gut, arms around his thighs, surging forward to try and get him off his feet and slam him to the ground. ]
