Theron coughed up another mouthful of blood and slowly stood to his feet. His expression was calm.
Many were probably looking to see a fierce reaction, but at that moment, in the face of a loss, he didn’t look much different than Ironvale would have.

"You have a lot of potential and are worthy of your arrogance. It seems that today won’t set you back very much. I expect that you will be much stronger when I see you next."
Theron didn’t reply, simply nodding then stepping around Ironvale.
