The fight was going well and he was soon covered in a thin layer of sweat. But it felt good. Giovanni seemed to enjoy it too, from the way his eyes lit up. Even as he got hit his spirits seemed up.
And then it seemed as if he was able to anticipate Connor better. He got just a little bit faster. I must be telegraphing my moves, he thought. The man seemed more aware of what was going on.
He felt a laugh well up in him. Oh yeah. It's on now. At that moment, however, something seemed to push him away hard. It was....nothing. Like an invisible bar had just surged at his chest with a sharp force. In the middle of fighting- mind focused purely on watching Giovanni, interpreting his moves, looking of openings- he was not in a place to understand what had just happened.
In shock, that very instant, he stumbled back from the push and fell on his back. Giovanni was grinning at him. "Sorry, couldn't resist."
Connor sat there for a moment, trying to understand what he was talking about, his confusion plain on his face.
Suddenly understanding dawned on him. Duh!
