On the plus side, he felt Maea dropping to the deck in front of him. On the minus side, he couldn't see it happening because his own vision had flashed white and then black as he staggered back and then promptly sat down on his ass on the deck.
The fight was definitely knocked out of the Ancient, so Tal decided that he'd won - and never mind that he'd knocked the fight out of himself in the process. "Ma alwaysss said it wash good Halovian granite," he boasted smugly, oblivious to the slurring of his own speech. The ringing in his ears made it easy to ignore such a minor detail! "Uh. Yar?"
It took him a moment to remember to activate his ring again and he was surprised at how much easier it was to think afterwards. Abandoning his bandanna he took the wheel of the Peregrine and turned her around to head back for Haulani. The rest of the voyage was focused more on moving quickly around the ship than trying to beat each other bloody. There'd been enough of that for one day, but with Maea unlocking a new ability and Tal coming one step closer to his quest for Ludo, he figured they could both call it a win!
~Fin~
