The drunk guy got up- swaying a bit- and came over. Lucas' playful attitude dropped immediately as he watched the man. His whole body became still and he was aware of everything and thinking of nothing. He was alert.
The man made a sarcastic comment to Aria, voice clearly slurring, before turning to him. The bruises on his face were pretty fresh. The man was obviously itching to fight and this was not his first tonight. He was the same height as Lucas, though much thicker in the arms and chest. Not that it really mattered. Lucas was lean and tight from his training at Gracies's. Jeet Kune Do was one of the things he started a couple of years ago, part of his mental and physical discipline. He'd make sure things didn't get out of hand.
"Hey now buddy. It was just an accident."
Even as he spoke, the man tried to grab at him. No thought passed in Lucas' mind as his hands flew up and batted them away with sharp quick moves. He was ready.
The man batted his hands away, but Calvin wanted to fight. His thoughts were only on the fight and the pain in his chest that was diminishing as he fought. He swung at the man's face, aiming for the jaw.
The man didn't get the hint. Lucas didn't really want to hurt him but it looked like he might have to before the guy got the point. He swung at him and Lucas easily blocked it before delivering three swift jabs to the man's face, stunning him.
The man was fast...or Calvin was slow...or both. Barely had Calvin had made the attack before the man had blocked and made three attacks to his face. Calvin stepped back, barely keeping his balance as he was stunned. He shook his head and moved forward again readying a punch towards the man's stomach.
Yep, this guy just didn't get it. He came again and tried to punch him in the stomach. Lucas' left hand block quickly while his right connected with his nose. He heard the crack. Left hand again flew to deliver a sharp jab to the kidneys, followed by the right, then repeated. There was no thought. It was all instinct.
Calvin fell back on the ground as the man connected with his nose and his kidney. His nose was bleeding and pain was there. He didn't stand back up.
Finally the man went down and stayed there. Lucas stepped back and watched him. He didn't think the guy would get up but he was careful. Then he looked over at Aria. "Well....ok then. Didn't expect that to happen."
He walked to stand next to her. "We can get out of here if you want."
He looked down at the guy. For a moment he felt pity for him. He'd had his own share of booze fueled fights. Or maybe not. The guy could just be a mean drunk. Plenty of those around. Assholes who felt that drink made them invincible, brought their aggression to the surface. Either way, though, he was done.
