The feline had expected to taste defeat, but not quite as fast as it had happened. One second he was standing, the next, he was not, and he spat dirt from his mouth with a cough and a pout on his face—he must have been more absent in the head than he thought he was, because in any normal situation, he would have been able to react faster. He was still recovering from a concussion, after all. Maybe he should have stayed home.
A barely audible, embarrassed whine escaped his throat as he wobbled to his feet and scrambled back several yards, and he took a moment to inspect his flank. His head pounded after the impact jostled his brain about again, and he realized a bit too late that it was stupid to even try to fight in his current state. "Y-yeah, you win," he mumbled as he rubbed his face with his paw as if it would cure his ailment. "My head's hurtin' like a bitch, an' I can't focus like this."
