He's gonna have a shiner for sure. And he keeps tonguing one of his teeth. Can't tell if it's loose or if everything just feels weird from the blood of a split lip. Or the fact that he's a little unclear if he can feel the side of his face? Maybe when the stars stop dancing in front of his eyes, everything will fall into place.
He knows he gave as good as he got. He knows from the way he could feel the crack of the asshole's nose under his fist, and from the feral way they went at each other until the ferocity died and the exhaustion started winning.
Barely been in this city for five days, and here he is getting into a beatdown. Is that what a New York hello is like?
"You kiss your mother with that mouth?" is the absolutely genius thing he can hear leaving his mouth in response. Huh, funny, he doesn't remember telling his mouth to say his inside thoughts like that.
But a draw's a draw, and so long as this guy doesn't start up again, they can leave it at that. He starts to try and prop himself up on an arm. "Should probably get some ice on that." Oh wow, kid's a horror show right now, huh?
