Gabriel was knocked a quite bit back from the blow, and while stumbling back he managed to keep juggling, before he could speak he saw James fighting against the man. "Sir Hawthorne! I know as a knight in shining armor you feel you have to save the day. BUT." Gabriel gritted his teeth at the man, "This is my fight. I need to do this Sir Hawthorne! He may be bigger than me, but I need to stand up to him! Not you! You would just show that the person with the bigger stick solves conflicts, but I know in my heart that I ca- NO I must solve this! Please Sir Hawthorne..."

Gabriel glared at the man, "You and me. Outside, after all I doubt you want to cause damages to your 'precious' kitchen even though you don't mind harming your daughter. And you know what I won't even use my daggers, or my animal buddy. Just two men, with nothing but their fists and feet. Lets settle this once and for all. "
