Can a punch break a--wow, has this guy ever been in a fight before? His fists go loosely up, ready for a comeback, but the guy just...goes red and starts a scene.

"Hey, you're the one that hit me first! A guy's got a right to defend himself, doesn't he?"

Wait, but he wants a duel. Like...a guns drawn at dawn kind of duel? Swords? Swords drawn at dawn? That's so stupidly quaint. "What the fuck makes you think I know anything about the protocols of dueling?" He opens one hand, letting the eerie glow of the anchor shard be seen. "I'm not exactly from around here."

Smart idea in the middle of a public gathering starting to form at the docks? Absolutely not. But if it'll help get this guy off his back, then whatever. He doesn't make it a secret.
