He could practically hear Kit's muscles convulsing in its struggle to keep from acting on the natural instinct to hurl, a sound which delighted him enough to prompt a remark even in the heat of battle. Shouldn't he be more concerned about the armlock currently being visited upon him? Probably. But he's never been one for typical priorities.
This time he sees his opponent's train of thought early enough to muster up a reaction. His trapped fist digs into Kit's shirt and latches on to the skin underneath it, as if he isn't confident in the other boy's ability to hold him there on his own. The moment that his foot rises to try and smash into his own he acts, using the leftover momentum from his previous charge and the adrenaline pumping through him to ram into him with his entire body.
In the best case scenario, it'll topple them both. At worst, he'll have agitated an already troubled stomach. Either way, he's willing to take the chance that Kit's own attack will connect before he's done with his follow-up. The reward was worth it.
