The swipe is countered, at the cost of only adding to the momentum of the jab that slips past defenses like a knife—

Thump. Marcus grunts as the blunt end of the staff strikes his midsection, more a forced expulsion of breath than anything else. Detecting shift in attitude through both the comparatively more solid strike than ones previous, and whatever fine signs (more tension bundling into muscle, a more assertive stepping forward) he can pick up through sheer experience.

Has the good grace to think: that's fair.

Steers aside the next hit, and by the time their staves clap together in a cross strike, hard enough to feel rattling up his bones to his shoulder, Marcus moves to twist free of what could next be a pinning down of weaponry while he says, "Enough."
