You tense up in the face of the much more aggressive man. He smells weakness. But if he approaches directly, why not meet him and his aggression head on? You move forward...

The Dog swipes from the left, but you dodge into and under the blow! You feel the air move from how <span class="mu-i">close</span> it was.
JUST DODGE!
>Acquired TAC BAR I (Dodge stray gunfire, weak melee hits, and other minor attacks. Does not work on: actually competent melee fighters, salvoes of gunfire, high explosives, local lynch mob tearing you apart, etc.)The haymaker goes wild! The Agent snarls. You seize the opportunity to drive your elbow like a railroad spike into his side, trying to knock him down. He grunts without falling and lashes out with a weak kick to your side. It doesn't hurt too hard, but knocks you off-balance just long enough for him to recover.

Uno goes quiet. Very, very quiet. The silent shame of a man when he has keenly felt the loss of his manhood. The anger, the bitterness. He seems like kind of man who will have his revenge, sooner than later.
Uno reaches into his suit jacket and you tense up once again. Ah, ah too soon...
