Holy crud he is right! No one can measure his level of smugness right now. No one.
Carefully, he pulls himself to his feet, giving her an innocent expression that hardly seems to belong on his face. "What look?"
Then the smugness is back tenfold. He might've lost the fight, but he won this round. All that's left is to gloat in the victory.
"C'mon, I know you're not stayin' here," he says, nodding his head toward the door. "Do what you gotta do and let's blow this popsicle stand."
They're both sore and exhausted, and this is a rough part of Keeliai. So consider this his own peace offering. They'll walk home together, at least until it's time to part ways, and they can watch each other's backs while they're at it.
There's no telling how many enemies they've made out here, waiting like vultures to get their hits in while they're weak. It's one major downside to mopping up creeps in the fight ring. You tend to make a few unsavory friends while you're at it.
