Allthough the fight started well for Thierry, he now started to feel the hard punches from Raoul. A devestating blow splits his lip and another almost breaks his nose. Tasting the blood in his mouth, Thierry realises that he's going to lose this fight.
Using all the strenght that's left in his body, he manages to get on top of the older chevalier and while avoiding yet another punch from the iron fists of his opponent, he manages to pull his dagger and points it at the throat of Raoul.
The older man stops punching and looks at Thierry, angry and clearly disgusted that the younger man lowered himself to this treacherous move.
"Don't move, you " Thierry said with a soft voice, his breath rasping.
Raoul moves his right hand.
"Don't you move, idiot."
Thierry moves his dagger and puts it right against Raoul's throat.
"Yes, that's what you are, Raoul: a complete moron."
Thierry takes a deep breath and calms down. Grinning, he continues:
"So, how does it feel to be outwitted by a child, old man!"
Thierry spits Raoul in the face and quickly rises on his feet. Before Raoul has the chance to get up, Thierry kicks him in the stomach. While Raoul reaches for his stomach, groaning, Thierry kicks him again, on the back, and again, against his head. Finally satisfied, Thierry puts away his dagger, spits one more time in the direction of his opponent, whipes off the blood on his face and leaves the tavern.
