They could talk more about it after they'd settled on a winner; at the moment, Tal was focusing on how close Sah had gotten and where his fists, elbows, and knees were headed. On the plus side, since they were so close, there were limits on what Sah could throw at him.

But it was still satisfying to see the other man pull back from the thwack of his fist against the hunter's nose. He hadn't had enough room to get any real strength behind his jab, but he hadn't needed to, given his target.
Unfortunately the other man didn't move back far enough. Tal was already sinking down to get under Sah's guard, and the knee hit his elbows at an odd angle, deflecting rather than striking solidly. Tal tried to capitalize on the one-legged position it left his frenemy in by peppering a pair of short, sharp jabs into the hunter's hopefully-unprotected stomach before he could get his balance back.
