Sah wasn't the only one struggling to find a partner he could really let loose with. Tal had several people he could usually bother for a spar - Maea and Hotaru among the most reliable - but he was usually holding back with them. With the Wild Thunder he only had to hold back a little and that was only because they were both trying to avoid really hurting each other.
This little brawl was a good chance to let off his steam with Ludo and just give himself over to the raw physicality of the friendly fight.
Even if it meant that he was out of practice with Sah's tricks.
Tal swore good-naturedly as Sah anticipated the punch and caught it, but then he had the breath knocked out of him as he was pulled down into a knee. At least it wasn't the same place on his ribs that had been hit before, but he still wheezed as he folded over the leg.
And stayed there, grabbing for his frenemy's other knee and yanking while he put his shoulder into Sah's stomach in an attempt to knock Sah to the ground and land on him.
